Yes, the stock hardware on the B pillar works with only one small issue. The hole in the seat belt "reel" is ever so slightly undersized. I was able to clean it up with a 1/2" drill bit and cordless drill.

Honestly, I borrowed the idea from an earlier thread post. Start around post #2744 and read on. The belts are available from ebay for less than $20/pair, search for HMMWV seat belts. It's well worth the effort...

This week's project was a tough and dirty job. I had a small, annoying oil leak to chase down, only a few drips, but a lot of built up wet crud. 8-10 hours later, I had replaced the oil pan gasket, rear main seal, rubber fuel lines, fuel pump and gaskets.

I like pictures... Hey, wait that floor looks familiar. The project is certainly coming together, nice work Dan.

Have garage, want CUCV...spoken like a true caveman.:mrgreen: The search goes on for me. Lapua Dan gambled and hit the jackpot. He's being modest, the truck is mechanically sound and nearly rust free. The sun has done a number on the paint and fiberglass.

The starter bracket is present and accounted for. However, the nut was finger tight and almost off. It's good to go now.
