8 seat belt set ups from Scott at Expedition Imports. E track comes in 4, 8, and 10 foot sections you will need 8s or 10s and then cut to fit.
best seatbelts out there unless you want to go crazy

These are the belts I have in my truck. I am not sure if the PO installed them, but they almost look stock.

can you still fold your seats into a flatbed with those? they look nice but I really would like to take them off with the quick clips of e-track.
In my old radio truck I put etrack in for an additional 4 passangers, but since my 712 had sets bolted in by a PO I am having a hard time justifying 12 news sets at 30 a piece.

Deal is though I use all 12 seatbelts a couple times a month for scouts so unbolting them is to much trouble to regularly do.
If anyone has extra sets they want to sell at a reduced rate, please let me know

I only have the two seats, but yes, they fold into the flat position without issue.

Retractable seat belts make for a clean setup, but care must be taken because most retractable belts have inertia belt locks that are designed for forward facing seats…. In a frontal (or rear) collision, they would be slow to lock, if they lock at all (unreeling extra belt) when used for side facing passengers. If usng a setup that allow the belt to extend and retract freely while there is a passenger in it. I'd be concerned.

I never thought of that....something I will definitely investigate.

Thanks David!

I wasn't saying yours in particular, just a safety precaution for all with retractable belts on side seating.
