Your steering solution is similar to our truck as well. We have a 65. I like how yours turned out.

That looks good.
Cleaned, new dash bulbs and fresh needle paint.
New brake master cylinder as the old one was leaking. Hand cut a new gasket.
Depth gauge for setting the push rod correctly.
New OEM brake master cylinder installed.
Time to clean up the coolant hoses around the engine bay and the supply to the heater core.
I've used these 5/8" coolant line caps on a few of my other 40's and they work well in capping off the brass lines that would have fed the rear heater in the cab.
Heater core was a bit gunked up.
New 5/8" caps and the brass coolant tubes cleaned up. Notice the difference in the original firewall heater line grommet as compared to the new one.
Turned my attention back to the seatbelt issue.
Just a little mod to get the bracket to bolt to the oem anchor bolt.
I like the design of the oem seatbelt anchors and did not want to modify them in any way. Decided to use the steel bracket to extend the seatbelt higher toward the seat for better access when buckling.
Works well and sits across my chest in a good position.
