" Bill, the 71 may have had optional shoulder belts. If it did the anchor points for shoulder belts are in the B pillar (door latch post). If not, you will need to do some work. These work well:

" Take a look at their video in the how-to section. It's for a street rod, but you will have to do something similar -- unless the 71 Gremlin already has a "hard point" to mount a shoulder belt.
" Install in 70 Mustang with upper mounting points:

" Install in a VW Bug (no upper mounting points, probably closest to the Gremlin)

iirc shoulder belts were required starting in '68.  they may still be
separate in '71, but their anchor points will definitely be there and
they should be too.

as i posted, i replaced shoulder and lap belts in my american with
3-pointers.  they bolted right in, and with 'airplane' latches look
stock.
