So I bought seatbelts for my 1970 bucket seats wildcat, and all the holes were plugged up with body filler, I was able to get all the health in except for the inner front seatbelts for driver and passenger, can someone send me pictures so I can figure out where the hole is supposed to be?
You can probably find them easier from underneath. Feel around with a magnet. Underneath there should be a FLANGED nut welded to the floor for each one. Filling them is pretty peculiar... Hmmm... This is a 1972 XGS ws
I was able to get the seatbelts in, I took front passenger bucket out and lifted carpet and chiseled away at the body filler, the belts original 1969 seatbelts so I'm happy. I believe the seatbelts were "deleted" by the original owner, I was told by the original owners son that the reason my headrests are missing are because he had them removed by an upholstery guy. Im assuming he also removed the belts along with it, but oddly enough the male end of the shoulder belts were in place when I got the car. Does anyone know if it was possible to order a car without seatbelts or headrests from the dealer?

In 1970 seat belts, shoulder harnesses and head rests were required by federal law. There was not an optional delete.
Well I got in contact with the original owners son again, his sister is going to send pictures to me of the car when new, showing the deleted headrests, i don't know about the seatbelts because the son does not remember.
