Thanks for the comments.

The Truck is Hummer Candy apple red!

I have attachments for the Belts on the floor (tied into the seat mounting bolts) and I used a bar at shoulder height to secure the shoulder belts.
I used 1.75 DOM tubing, and did the work with a friend in his backyard garage.

I'd love to get together, and I've posted a few more pics of the whole truck.
