78 seat belt mounting
I ordered new belts for my 78 D100 with bucket seats from LMC Truck. The inside (female) part that bolts to the floor behind the back right corner of the seat has no bend at the mounting point and so will only bolt parallel to the floor. Is there supposed to be a bracket that bolts to the floor and the belt to the bracket? Or did they send belts for a bench seat? If anyone can post a picture that would be great. Thanks.

They usually bolt flat to the floor with the slot turned towards the seat so it pulls flat if you hit something. There may be a slight upwards bend, but there might not. I've had several trucks and Ramchargers over the years like yours, but I never really paid attention to the seat belt mounting. LMC generally has pretty good quality so it may be what was original.
