Nice looking seats for the money. 

On the seat belt issue.  Has anyone tried the chevy truck seats that have the shoulder belts built into the seat?  I think dodge has the same setup.   jm

The seats in my Cadillac were like that, as were the seats in early Range Rovers. It's a viable option, although in both the Caddy and the Rangie the seats were immensely heavy (which suggests that modifying modern seats to work like this is a non-starter).

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

My thought was to make a base for the seats, rather than try to attach to the existing base.  It's on my list of things to do. j

Jeremy-- I was only talking about lap belts.  I have not attempted to do should harnesses.
You don't have to believe everything you think.

Bucket seats in some pickups that are super cabs have shoulder belts integrated into the seat as there is no pillar to attach them to.

The driver's seat in my Dina came with a shoulder belt.  I understand even a lot of relatively modern buses don't have shoulder belts.  The top part of the belt is anchored to the wall while the retractor is bolted to the partition behind the driver.  They welded a threaded bung into the wall to hold the top of the belt.
