Buckle; "...buckles are interchangeable from 80-96; only the color of the straps & sleeves varies...If they don't lock, you only need to replace a small flat spring, and it's not difficult. The hardest part will be finding a replacement spring, but like I said before: 80-96 trucks (as well as MANY other Fords) used it, so you can get a handful in any JY that will let you..."

Lap Belt, Rear Bench Installation; "...easiest way i can describe it. along the side of the seat cushion part of the rear seat, feel around through the fabric. you will feel a hole approximately 7/16-1/2" in size. it is not thread just a hole. at that spot take a small screwdriver, and poke it through the material. that is where your seat belt "receiver" will go. stick a grade 8 bolt, washer/ lock washers and nut. the "male portion will mount to the bottom back where the other belts attach. if you need pics still pm me and i will snap a picture in the morning and send it to you..."

Shortening Clips, Ford F03Z-5461249-A; "...Some pre-1996 vehicles have lap belts that will not stay locked after they have been tightened. They may be in the front or the back seat. For these belts, the webbing of the lap belt is sewn to the buckle tongue; there may be no shoulder belt or one that is made of a separate piece of webbing. To install a child safety seat, this type of lap belt must be shortened with a belt-shortening clip (BSC). The metal BSC is used to fix the length of the lap belt that has an emergency-locking retractor (ELR), the type that only locks during a crash. The clip takes all excess webbing out of the lap belt. The manufacturers listed below made one or more vehicles that require the use of a belt-shortening clip to install a child safety seat. Some vehicles made by manufacturers not on the list also have belts that need this part. A belt-shortening clip from any of the vehicle manufacturers listed can be used on another manufacturer's vehicle; they are interchangeable. Use these part numbers to order the clip from the dealer parts department. It is important but sometimes difficult to obtain the appropriate instructions. Belt-shortening clips sold by most vehicle dealers do not include belt-shortening instructions. If the package does not include instructions for using the clip to shorten a belt, look in the vehicle owner's manual. As of December 2002, the Toyota BSC was the only one sold with belt-shortening instructions. Note: Many other pre-1996 vehicles require the use of a regular locking clip. This type of clip, which comes with child safety seats, is used on lap-shoulder belts made of a single piece of webbing with a sliding latchplate. The clip locks the two pieces of webbing together at the latchplate. (Newer vehicles are required to meet a standard for safety belts that will stay tight around a child safety seat without adding clips.) Belt-shortening clips are the same shape as regular locking clips, but they are used differently and are much stronger. Some, but not all, BSCs are larger than regular locking clips. It is impossible to rely on markings on BSCs to differentiate them from regular locking clips. The only way to identify a belt-shortening clip positively is to obtain the clip in its original packaging from a vehicle manufacturer. Warning: NEVER use the regular locking clip supplied with a child safety seat as a BSC. It could fail in a crash, allowing the child restraint to move forward dangerously. Ford F03Z-5461249-A (includes instructions for use as locking clip only; refer to vehicle manual)..."

Shoulder Belt Addition to pre-92; "...You can buy a good used '92-96 camper shell for $20-100 any day of the week to get the hard points in the roof. But the rest will be a little more difficult. Finding good rear shoulder belts from those trucks is harder - I've only found 1. Then you'd have to drill & weld in 2 more hard points to mount each belt: 1 for each reel on each wheelwell, & 1 for each end on each side of the rear seat. Then you have to swap in a '92-96 rear seat, or at least '92-96 buckles. Doing it with a roll bar wouldn't be much easier, even though you could use ANY roll bar & just have some nuts welded in to recieve the shoulder bolts. You'd still have to come up with a belt system that you'd trust with your life (or your family's). I'd stick with using factory parts because you KNOW they meet DOT specs for rollover safety..."
