Piper,
I took the headrests off my 74, but then replaced the seats with early (63?
Crash?) seats. To remove the seatbelts, first lower the top, then standing
in seat, facing rear, grab headrest with both hands and jerk sharply upward!
This worked on the driver side, but not on the passenger. I had to cut the
vinyl open on the passenger side to get that one off.
Good luck!
