Re: 1965 Seat Belts???

Its interesting that "some" 66's came with bolts welded in for shoulder strapes. I have 66 parts truck that my dad bought brand new in California. Build in May of 66 at the Fremont GM Truck plant. It had lap belts, but there are no provisions for shoulder belts.

Personally I wish it did or better yet I wish my 65 did. I have retro'd 3 point belts out of a mid-80's suburban into mine and would've preferred to used a factory installed anchor point. Shoulder belts are a must in our trucks, lap belts keeps you in the cab but also locks you in for a solid face plant into a 16 gage steel dash :-(
