3 point seatbelts

What year did they start installing these into the trucks?

But not all trucks got them. My 75 just has lap belts. It does have the mount point for the shoulder belt.

Re: 3 point seatbelts

The shoulder belts were optional ,my 74 only has the lap belts .Oddly enough they were still wrapped in the plastic under the seat when I bought the truck out of a 20+ year storage in a barn .I unwrapped them and used them .

Re: 3 point seatbelts

My 85 Crew cab has just lap belts in the rear. There are holes in the C pillar, but no threaded insert for them. I may address that at some point as my kids will be riding back there.

Just tap the holes, and find a matching bolt.
