I will be moving the front seat back to the factory position (was moved forward for a much shorter driver) and looking for any input on seatbelt installs others have accomplished or tried and decided against the install.

I have a set of retractable three points which would be harder to install or a set of lap belts that would be easier. Looking for pictures, instructions or any other input/experiences to help with my choices.

TIA

Just a word of caution, DO NOT INSTALL THE SEAT BELTS ON THE FRAME! Body only anchor points.
If you have a closed car (like the avatar) a three point would be a much better choice than the lap belts.

Understand that concept (body vs frame mount) and yes it is a 1950 Custom 2 door sedan.

Go to https://www.julianos.com They have a How to Install section which shows the installation of three point belts on different cars. While a shoebox is not shown, there should be enough info to help you.
