1964 Wagoneer Rear Seat Belts
Hello all! I am a new member and this is my first posting. I have been out of the jeep loop for a number of years and I recently bought a 1964 Wagoneer and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about installing rear seat belts without butchering or drilling a ton of holes....

3 holes in the floor if you are satisfied with lap belts.
They were standard by no later than 1972, so a Wagoneer of that age group will have belts that hopefully match the rest of your interior.

Should only take two holes in the floor, the left and right (on later waggs)
use the seat latch posts on the fender wells and two holes ~spliting the floor into 1/3's, lets you have three sets of belts.

Sounds good, I'll take a look at those locations when I get home tonight... Its kinda funny that I dont remember having seatbelts in the car when I was a kid, but other than riding around the block with the kids I fell a bit uncomfortable on the open road with them with no belts... maybe they can just hold a brick in there lap. lol.
Thanks for the help!

I am not sure seat belts were required equipment in 1964, it was somewhere in that time frame that lap belts became a requirement for the auto makers, so it may not have had lap belts origionaly, I am not sure.

I thought I read that Wagoneers always had seat belts?

Belts where optional from day one, yours should have threaded holes in the floor for them already I would think. For lap belts anyway. My 63 J300 does.

x2 There should be anchor points for lap belts. My 63 wag has belts. If you want later era modern cross the chest strap belts you're going to have to get creative, but lap belt anchors should already be there.
