1965 442 rear seat belts

I want to install rear seat belts in my 65. I saw in an old post that there may be pre-drilled holes or flat spots to locate drilling my own holes. I don't have either in my car. Can someone post pictures of where the seat belts should be attached? I'm ordering the attachment bolts / support plates and can drill my own holes, I just need to have idea where that should be. Thanks

Jason, could they have done different things between the different assembly plants? Attached are photos of a floorboard portion cut from a 1965 Post car. It has two oval impressions on the outboard positions, but I don't see anything for the two inboard positions. This car had loops added in the center but they don't have anything to do with factory seat belt anchors. John

Mine is a hardtop assembled at the Fremont, CA. plant. I just looked again and don't see the dimples. These pictures give me a good idea of the location I need to drill the anchor holes. Thanks for your help.

John, the picture of the measurement from the bracket guided me to find a dimple.
My car doesn't have the flat spots with the dimples to locate the holes but once I knew where to look, the dimples were there. I drilled the holes, used the oval backing plates and installed the seat belts. Thanks to all for your replies.

DaveD65...I want to add rear seat belts to my '65 Cutlass as well and now is an opportune time for me as I'm doing some interior work. Where did you by the rear seat belts and hardware? I need blue belts. Thanks.

I got the seatbelts at SEATBELTSPLUS.COM. I went with the basic 60" black latch lift style. They're in and function fine.
