Locating Rear Seat Belt Bolts

[seely]

I'm working on getting seat belts in the back of my '75 Bronco and am trying to figure out if there are bolt holes there or not. I know it came from the factory with the back seat, but as long as I can remember it did not have seat belts back there. Can anyone confirm as to whether or not the bolt holes would already be present? I am hoping to find them without pulling up the carpeting if possible. If so, do you know if the bolts would be in there already? I am wanting to try and feel with my fingers/a dowel to see if I can locate the holes/bolts but am wanting to know what to feel for.

I pulled up my vinyl mat for tub cleanup in my '69 a few years back. Here are pics of that area. There are two holes near the wheel wells and two more towards the middle of the floor. The other six holes are for the seat which can be mounted in two different positions (forward or backward). Hope this helps.

Thank you for the photos! Do you know if I would be able to see them from underneath, or would the fuel tank and everything be in the way?

No, I don't know. You'll have to take a look to see.

Unless your bed above the rear tank is clean, it’s gonna be a challenge to see them from beneath. If you have access to a flexible cam, you probably can get a decent view. I don’t recommend dropping the tank (unless there’s a plan to replace it) just to look for the “bolt holes”.

I don't know if this helps but here is a pic of where the bolt holes are on my 77.

Thank you all for the help, I ended up finding all four bolt holes and am getting ready to install the belts.

Does anyone know if the seat belt bolts in the middle could potentially hit the fuel tank if I torque them too much? I saw that a stock tank has two dimples on the top, are those positioned where those holes are to prevent this?
