72 Chevelle seat belts front wons are not good. Driver sind no guts, center passenger no guts, Passenger has guts but are weak. If anyone know where to get replacement buckles or has some lead to where to get them or ideas Please LMK.

Just a thought Jim, but unless you are going for a stock look, I'd suggest you check out the 3 point aftermarke over the shoulder belts that a few of the guys in the club have switched to since you are building up your Chevelle to be a real bruiser with that nasty engine!  Much safer than the stockers. 

The 3 point mounts on the roof in place of the original over shoulder belt, and the lower portion goes in place of the one mounted on the floor. 

Maybe one of the guys that put them in will post a link or pics.

I have a set of fronts I won't be using. I am going to the 3 point ones like Stan mentioned. They might be in by the end of the weekend for pics. I have seen them installed in person, and they are the same ones Johnny Hunkins put in his 68 for an article in Chevy High Performance.
