    My van doesn't have seatbelts and I was wondering how to install them.
    Any ideas?

    You can get a 3-point belts and use the existing anchors. Just have to find a good spot for the shoulder harness ring to mount.

    Thanks, where are the anchors?
    Can't find anything in the shop manual.

    Driver's side should be just behind the outside/r seat mounting bolt. Same for pass. side unless you have/had a jumpseat. The you get to make your own mounts.

    In the absence of seatbelt mounting bolts, you can drill out a plate to take a bolt, weld a nut to the backside of it, drill a larger hole on the body / rib section so that the nut and plate will fit in there, and then weld the plate, flatside out to the body / rib section.

    That's the general idea anyway. Lap belts can be added by drilling holes, and using large washers under the floor to prevent the nut from tearing through a tiny hole...

    I hope that gives some ideas, and others have example pics.
