51 Chevy 1/2 ton, My S10 swap

[Atommik]

For the pivot mount, I got a 3/16 steel plate about 3"X3", curved it slightly to match the curve of the inner cab corner panel. Drilled a hole in the center for the seat belt bolt, welded a nut on the back side of the plate. I also drilled a 1/4 hole and ran a tap through it. Then when I fished the plate down thru the opening in the inner panel( from the top) I ran a machine screw into the smaller tapped hole to hold the plate in place and keep it from spinning, while I installed the seat belt pivot bolt. It is not be as strong as a modern day seat belt mount, but it's better than only a lap belt (or no belts at all).

Resurrecting an old thread, but was wondering how you like your fuel neck filler location?
Does the height cause any issues?

[Atommik]

I'm happy with the location. No issues. It is a little low but doesn't create any problems. I can fill it with the "lock" on the pump handle and the auto shut off works fine with no spilling out of the neck.
