NOW with that said...Youtube "1975 ford torino crash test" and you will see how worthless the factory Ford belts are. I love my GTS. But I have no dissolution over the fact the upper seat belts are worthless in an impact and you and your passenger will absolutely eat the dash every time. 

With that said, I do always wear the lap belt. But the upper 72-73 Sportsroof belts are worthless. I am planning on a Shelby Mustang style upper bar tied into the roof mount points with possibly having rear down bars, with retractors on a 3 point harness.  

I bought a set of three-point belts from Wesco Performance. The 1972 shoulder belt mount was so far back that it would interfere with someone getting in the back door, so I got a mounting plate to put it 6 inches forward or so. Having a modern locking mechanism should make for a significant improvement. 

Yes it is mounted up in the headliner but you should be able to feel it if you don’t readily see it. I’ll see if I can find pictures to show.

This was as I was installing my headliner. The cross brace is where the dome light mounts. If you look behind that {to the right} you will see two rectangle boxes, with a threaded insert. That is the upper belt mount location. 
 

Not to mention the female belt strap is about 2-3 inches too long.  I just tied it in a knot... Someone let me know if I'm gonna die with this plan.  Sorry, no pics, but I can try and get some tomorrow

FWIW, on my '79 Ranchero with split bench seats, the factory center seat belt anchors are "doubled up" with the driver and passenger side seat belt anchor bolts located on each side of trans tunnel. I hardly ever have a 3rd passenger but this is the way the factory did it.

72FordGTS wrote: Like Todd says, the factory did double up the anchors for the middle front belt.  I have also seen this on many other cars from the 1970s, like my Dad's old Malibu Classic.  When you have a chance, post the pics of the hardware and install.

Here you go.  Seems to be comfortable enough, but the shoulder strap sits right on my collar bone, which is annoying.  Better than nothing, I guess.  Also, the retracter is insanely sensitive.  You have to pull slooowwwwly to avoid locking it.

Yup, those are the original mounting points used for the retractor.  The bolts provided by Seatbelt Planet were a perfect fit.  As for the female anchor, I just drilled a 7/16(?)" hole on both sides of the transmission tunnel, then used the provided hardware to affix the 90° angle bracket.  Hardest part was battling with the carpet.

From the way I understand it, these are more for original bench seat cars, in which case I think they do sit a bit higher, not to mention that my Torino's floors are nowhere near stock now in any way, shape, or form.  I'm sorry, but I don't have the old belts anymore. 

As you can see in the pics, I'm making it work by simply crossing the female belts to the opposite sides.  It was recommended that if you really needed a shorter length, you'd just have to source a shorter one.  Of course, these are reproductions of the belts we've seen in any classic automobile, so that shouldn't be too hard.

The front seat belts with the female buckle, I’ve never noticed a difference between bucket and bench cars for 72-76 years.

I am at my storage and I’ll see if I can find seat belts and measure them.

I have questions for him 

Is yours a 72? 

This configuration looks entirely different than the one on my fastback.

Nice guy.

If going with his set up and installing a new carpet don't bother cutting holes in the carpet for the seatbelt buzzer and warning light. They won't work with the new set up.

If you want the rear to match the new front belt set he can re-web the rear retractors and install the newer ends to them so that you can replace the receiver ends for the back seat as well.
