I would like to put seatbelts in my 36 ford. Any thoughts on what type and where to buy would be appreciated. Thanks...

While they were in business, I purchased "Starburst" lap belts from Lebaron-Bonney. These belts are now available from Juliano's Interior Products, LLC. You can check out their entire product line at julianos.com. They offer lap belts, shoulder harnesses and all of the hardware required to install them.

I have bought seat belts from a company called "Seat Belts Plus". A variety of colors, mounting hardware, and reasonable prices.

I also got my belts from Seat belts Plus for my '46 Super Deluxe. I only installed lap belts, as I didn't want to disturb the interior to install anchor points on the B pillar. Noted in previous posts: Bolt to the floor pan with reinforcing plates/washers. Do NOT bolt through the frame. https://www.seatbeltsplus.com/ https://www.seatbeltsplus.com/category/2-Point-Lap-Seatbelts.html Scroll to the bottom for install info

51woodie, What length were the seatbelts that you installed in your '46 Super Deluxe? I installed 60" ones in my 1940 Fordor Sedan and they were way too short in the front.

Use the 74" ones. I think they may be the longest ones available. I always get the longest ones to accomodate different size people.

I bought the 74" ones. If you haven't resolved the short belt problem, there are extenders available. See this link below. https://www.seatbeltsplus.com/category/Seat-Belt-Hardware-Accessories.html

51woodie, Thank you very much!

But 60" is probably the right length for the rear seat. Rear seat belts will attach to the floor bump-up, just a few inches from the seat cushion. And on rear seat, no need for extra belt length to accommodate sliding the seat.

When I installed belts in my 32 I placed 4x4" steel plates about 1/4 to 3/8ths thick under the floor pans. FWIW Paul in CT

The picture I included in my previous post, shows the reinforcing plate that I made and used. I also used Gr5 bolts with Nyloc locking nuts, rather than the very expensive bolts sold by Seatbelts Plus.

I second the Julianos recommendation. Bought the shoulder belts with lift latch buckles (like airline seat belt buckles) and attached them to the B-pillar with Julianos' kit. I asked for material samples so I could match my interior. They blend right in to the stock upholstery and aren't even noticeable. They look stock. The only way you can tell they aren't is because we all know there was no such thing in 1941.
