    Hey all! Trying to close up two threaded holes in the cab of my 1977 pickup. I put one of my seatbelt bolts in them and it's the same threading but I can't find the dimensions to source a pair of them. Any help is appreciated!

    If you take that bolt to a hardware store, they usually have thread gauges that you can stick that bolt into to find the right one.

    That may be what I end up doing. Trying to find something in black or bronze so it doesn't stick out like new stainless.

    They have the zinc coated bolts or you could just paint the bolt head with brown paint or something

    Pretty sure the seatbelt bolts were all metric on my 75 when I added them. I went to ACE Hardware to find the right size.
    Use a Sharpie for coloring it ;)

    yup, they were on metric on mine, when my younger son was small he could fit inbetween my wife and I so i added a third seatbelt which needed longer bolts. Sadly he's way to big for us to fit 3 comfortably, lol. While i like my bench seat, I may throw some buckets seats in there.
