1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Finally found the right guy to help me finish it up.

Vinyl covered door panel.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Factory buddy buckets.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Installed aftermarket shoulder harnesses for two of the three up front.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Aftermarket cup holder from Bi-mart with brackets on either side to keep seat upright.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Custom wiring for LED lights

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

How do you attach seat belts to center brackets?

For now I removed the two brackets and installed belts to floor like the second row but I must be missing something. I thought about blazer belts with the bent tab but they would face rearward and I don't think that's right.

Nine seat belts total.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Looks good. You could get 2 more brackets like your outer brackets and bolt your inner seat belts like them.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Did they just cover your old door panels or did they make brand new ones? I am getting ready to do my interior and am wondering how to do the door panels. Yours look great.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

That all came out very nice!
Love the attention to detail.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Couple of questions for you... Who did you go with on the 3 point seat belt kit and who makes the headliner? Looks great BTW...

They look like MCB's.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Wow, looks great. That interior must be so much quieter than my rattle box, lol.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Very nice and clean look. Reminds me of a Harley.

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

Interior looks awesome. I like that you went with the original seats in all three rows. A true factory 9-seater now!

Re: 1971 GMC suburban interior done finally

The little cup holder to the back of the buddy seat is really cool.

Does that also work as a "stop" from it flipping backwards or did you do anything extra to prevent this?

If you look at post #5 again it says it includes stop brackets for the seat back.... I lightened up the picture so they show up better. I need to do that on my Dodge Buddies.
