Could someone please post up a link to some pix of the shoulder belt mounting at the rear of the door column....1978 J20....
For whatever reason,...My seatbelt mount " looks " wrong to me...the plastic cover over laps the door molding (new)...and I can not remember if that's the way it was.....
Thanks for the reply,....I'd like a picture of the retracting reel that is mounted on the door column , about a foot off the floor. That assy. is overhanging my door trim and just doesn't make sense to me.
This what I am looking at, the cover (original to the truck) overhangs the door seal.
The mount has not been altered and sits in the original slot and threaded hole.

74 wag (349 Kmiles... parked, next step is a rust free body)
85 Gwag (229 Kmiles... the running test lab)
I have a 78 J truck,...it uses 2 retraction reels , one on the B pillar about 7-10" off the floor and one mounted on the floor.
The one on the B pillar is the one I feel is a problem...…..where can I host photos that don't need a password access>???
My 1982 Cherokee I think has the same problem that you are seeing. Drivers seat belt retractor sits in a different spot than the passenger side. Passenger side sits on body trim strange but so is amc . I think they are marked left and right . So maybe I have 2 rights and you have the left on the right or the right on the left . Did you install both and 1 sits on body trim.

itselliott, some of us have migrated to FLICKR.

I found an older foto, seems that the mount was funky from the factory https://ibb.co/FK5ZhxX
The edge of the seatbelt cover extends over the door gasket.
Got it figured...…..I have a 2 take up reel system. And the shoulder belt reel DOES stick out over the weather strip on every foto I have found.
The lap belt take up reel ,...well its "supposed" to be underneath the new rear seat installation. Kind of forgot that I covered it up with the back seat…….I'll have to make a new mounting pad.
