On my '74, there is a backing plate in the fenderwell. What do you think about the fact that it is 4 x 6mm (I do not recall the bolt size, but sounds about right) holding that bracket down?

Thanks again for all the picture Brian.
Do you believe the headliner to be original? If it is the original headliner, then I am guessing those rear belts may be installed from the factory. Just trying to figure if they were added later on, or if that was how Toyota was doing things for a while. I had no such anchor points in the C pillar of my '74.

I do believe the headliner to be original. I had a pretty high end restoration guy do the seatbelt and they came from an older toyota pickup. I own a scrap metal business and have a few toyotas show up from time to time that we crush.
So you added the rear belts? Thank you for your time and 'splaining it to me!
NO PIGGIES or 40s or 45LVs, riiiight???
Pablo,
That backing plate and the metal under it, is a spot prone to rust. I'm no engineer, but I wouldn't want to trust my families well being to just those 4 little bolts, that might be rusted out. Wouldn't hurt to beef it up before any problems.

Beats the hell of just lap belts.
Jus' checkin' to make sure were straight on this... I like you more every day!
Beautiful Pig BTW...
I have to ask, do you find some pretty crazy stuff in the cars that go to the crusher? I have heard stories...
Pigpen,
It does beat just lap belts. I didn't mean it was a bad idea to mount them there, just check the metal in question before belting in one of the kids.
That said, I might go with that spot myself. I welded in an anchor spot on the C pillar, at the bottom, just for this, but not sure if I can use it.
Good luck with the sale, she is a beauty!

Can someone help me figure out how to move this to the FJ 55 Classifieds? For some reason when I go there it doesn't show up? Maybe it got moved to seatbelt discussion thread?
You should be able to just create a new thread over there. That way you won't have all my questions clogging up the thread!
Yeah and me babbling on. We tend to get absorbed in the details.

I'm too retarded and it took me like 5 hours to post a picture the first time. I was shocked it didn't end up with pictures of my dog licking himself.
"Dog Licks Self" fine art that would probably help sell the 55. I am happy to help - I can create thread for you if you like?
If you would like me to create the thread for you in the 55 Classifieds, I can PM you my email and you can send me pics.
Pictures of the 55.
Not the dog licking itself...
Two buddies are sitting around, drinking beer, and the one guy's dog is on the floor, licking his doggy nuts.
Guy turns to his friend and says "man, I wish I could that!"
Other guy says "oooooooooooo........he would bite you......"
