I dont think there is any anchorage points in the roof of the fairlane, for the safety of those sitting in the rear seat I wouldnt have them anchored in the roof, also they look funny ( locally built chryslers had them in the vf valiant, doesnt look right ).The intergrated seatbelts would be the way to go, if you can find something that fits.

I bought a pair of 3 point belts off ebayfor the fronts. There is a rectangular hole on the on the under side of roof right above were the windlace goes, I cut some 1/4 inch flat stock a half inch or longer than the hole and drilled and tapped for 7/16-20 grade 8 bolts, then I weled the plate in. Seems pretty stout. I also bought some rear seat belts from a Focus that are 3 point. Having hard time trying to find 7/16 fine thread eye bolts to use in back. The rear cushions are pretty thick so the catch's for the belts are sunk down, Thinking about using heavy duty eyebolts, quick links to rig up something so those catch's won't be so far down, I'll keep ya'll posted maybe with some pictures.
