I have noted references to shoulder harness as an option for a 67 GTO HT. Does anyone know if the bracket or whatever is necessary was installed on all HTs. Has anyone installed a three point SB/SH in a Ht? Thanks

Can't find the reference, but I seem to remember that they were a mid-year addition to '67. It's a change in the structure of the top bracing over the quarter window--impossible to add later.
The early shoulder harnesses were kluges--there were two buckles. You would have to modify the inner quarter structure to get a later-design self-retracting three-point belt setup on there--and the belt would always be hanging there. |

Thanks for the info. Is there any way to tell if its there without getting into the headliner?
thanks |

I'm sitting here reading Zazarine's 2nd edition Pontiac GTO Restoration Guide. Page 166 says that as of Feb 1 1966 all bodies were built incorporating anchorage provisions for the front seat belt straps.
Anyway, the reason I know this page is because I too wanted to install shoulder belts. This page led (leads) me to believe that all 1967 GTO HT's had this provision. As I recall, I ran a finger against my headliner and I eventually felt two holes that felt like they were correct. I must admit I was a bit apprehensive when I punched a hole in my headliner, but there they were (two on each side, within a few inches in front of the coathook). Next task was to find the actual shoulder belts. I didn't see any reproductions, but after some hunting I did find some at Carlise. Actually, I was really lucky to find shoulder belts that also still had the little bolts attached for proper installation. Hope that helps. Good luck. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
