12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

Yep, has the shoulder belt anchor but they are the detachable shoulder belts. At least I don't have to build an anchor in the roof.

1974 was the first year for fully retractable seatbelts, but was kind of clunky in their application due to a ratcheting mechanism. 1975 was better as they went to an inertia mechanism, and it is a bolt-in to a 1974. At least, as I understand it.



Thanks!



Perfect.

Started working on trying to buy the '73 so unless the deal falls through I will almost certainly have to do something like this.
I believe at some point the retractable mechanism was recessed into the rear panel, not on exposed on the floor. Perhaps this was in 73 when they changed the interior panel design to plastic??
