Front shoulder belts were an option on 1970 B body convertibles, A85 option code, and connected to the top frame, with the belt coming forward between the rear side quarter skin. The belt connected to a plastic male end mounted on the lower part of the quarter arm rest panel. I always connect the buckle to the rear clip and fold the belt over on the arm rest when not in use, and they stay out of the way. Personally, I like the more secure "strapped in" feeling when cruising. The thought of burying my face into the steering wheel in an accident far outweighs any cumbersome belt stowing issues.
As far as wheels, just remember that the GP moved from the B body line to the A body line in 1969. Their wheels have a 5 X 4 3/4 bolt circle diameter whereas the B body had the 5 X 5 bolt circle, regardless of whether they are 14 or 15 inch.
