Jack, thanks for the tips on installing the three-point seatbelts.  I
back-ordered the October "Custom Classic Trucks," and read the
installation article, and I plan to buy and install the seatbelts before
it starts snowing here in Colorado.

Do you or anyone else have the phone number or address to contact the seat
belt vendor?

I second Jack's recommendation for buying three-point seatbelts.  While
most cars these days sacrifice themselves in a crash by absorbing a large
amount of the energy from the crash, our trucks tend not to bend as much,
leaving us plenty of inertia to injure ourselves on the steering column.
And $90 a seatbelt is far less expensive than the hospital costs of
recovering from a steering wheel to the head or chest.
