There are a ton of post on adding shoulder belts, use Google to find them. I am only familiar with the 73 year which requires seat removal, pull down of top of seat back covering, and replacement/addition of metal bezel. Also may require internal bracket mounted to seat back. Look at vendor catalogs along with the AIM for your a 1975 car which should will give parts list and illustration.

I used two plastic cable ties to pull plastic/rubber web stop through the seat brackets. Also read where other guys have used a hair dryer to warm web stop to make it easier to pull through. Pulling the web stop through the seat is the easiest part of the job, pulling down the seat cover and then attaching the metal bezel is the hard part.

You need to have the vinyl end pieces removed from the seat belts to get them thru that hole in the seal. Soooo, you boil a big mug of water and stick the end of the seat belt (with the vinyl end on it) in the water for about 30 seconds. Then, with a gloved hand, you grab the vinyl piece and 'walk' it off the end of the belt. 
Guess what? When you want to put it back on the end of the belt.....yeah, boil some water.

I've wondered how that vinyl boot got put on at the assembly factory?? I'm sure the boot and belt came to the factory as separate items. Maybe 'new' boots were soft enough that they could be pulled over the metal tongue. I know that 40 year-old boots are pretty stiff (and would likely tear if forced over the tongue).

Not sure about everyone else, but I used two cable ties (connected together for longer length) and just pulled them through the seat / bezel. I guess the Bubba in me sometimes comes out. Had to do it latter on when installing new carpet.
