You are correct, all 1962/3 F-85’s came with seat belt anchor nuts welded to the floor pan for the front seats. If still original, the nuts will have rubber plugs in the bolt holes. I have not seen any with rear seat belt anchor nuts in the floor pan. They only showed where dimples were put into the rear floor pan to drill holes for rear seat belt installation. The dealers could order seat belt kits for the car and install them for the customer or you could do it yourself. These instruction sheets came with the seat belt kits that you could purchase from the dealer and install yourself.
There are two different styles of trim for a windshield. As mentioned in the previous article by BruceM, glue in and rubber gasket styles. You will get a better result/response if you state how your windshield is affixed to the frame.
The cradle mounts are bolted tight and complete engine/trans connections will be next, electrical, cooling, fuel, drive line, etc.
The trim and interior are in progress too.
Engine clean up/restoration for this car was a water based chemical wash in a commercial parts washer. The heads and block cleaned up without any stain marks or discoloration. I was surprised on how good they came out of the wash cycle too. The intake manifold was painted after clean up.
Well, it is time for a few updates. My new toy project has been going somewhat slow but should start picking up speed. I now have all components ready for reassembly. The front frame/engine cradle is refurbished.
