yea, those things are for the belts. I have the six-passenger belting and shoulder belts, and sheesh, they don't interchange, so you always grab three wrong ends before you find the one that fits your lap belt. Those plastic gizmos give you a way to keep the un-used belts organized. My car just has them on the rear seat. Maybe my front ones were lost...if it had them. They are plastic tabs that the female belt ends fit over.

The seat belt that mounts on the roof is the shoulder belt right? Anyone have a pic of that so I know what it supposed to look like? Thanks.

Up through 71, I think shoulder belts were an option. I think 72 had them standard. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't a picture, but they are a long strap with a male end...there is a chrome wire clip that holds them folded over the door opening. The female end attatches to the floor with the same bolt that holds the other belts, and this end of the belt has the tension adjustment.

It all sounds great, but the shoulder belts fit poorly. I have shoulder belts in my other cars and never notice them, but this one is either too loose, or trying to saw my head off. If you adjust it tight ( as it should be) you can't lean forward to reach the radio.
