I like those gauges. I had replaced my bulbs quite a while back ad was very disappointed the first time I drove it at night. The only gauges I could read were my aftermarket cluster and my hood tach that crapped out in about 2 years. My tach is now an ornament with moving parts that flatlines at 700 rpm.

I put the shortest belt I can possibly get on and it stopped squealing for a day. Any other suggestions, yes it has fluid in it

Try a wider belt, The length may not be your issue at all, I have the same pullies without AC and am using factory brackets and had some belt squeal with the PS pump. I did some research and installed a gates HD series belt and the noise went away, even from the factory the PS belt was wider top profile than the alternator belt because of the higher load. Take the effective length of the belt you have now from the chart and find the same in the Fleet runner section notice they have a top width of 0.51" compared to what the parts stores sell at 0.41" NOTE: the belt will sit higher in the pulleys because of the wider top profile so if your after for the stealth look this may not be for you, but for under $20 and some time worth a shot .

I got seatbelts in the front as of today. Rear belts were supposed to be the 75 inch but they sent 60 inch. When I get the exchange I’ll install those

Just put 60” seat belts in my 64 yesterday. I can’t imagine why you would need them any longer.

I think that you will find that the rear seat belt attach points are closer than the fronts and you won't need as much length. I'm fairly porky at 240, and still had another 12" of belt length adjustment left while sitting in the rear seat. Have 60" in front, (bucket seats), and no problem. Bench might change things however.
