when did seat belts start in trucks?
 

What year did they start to seat belts in trucks? Just curious.

I believe that it was 1967. that or early 68 but I think I heard that you can get away with not having a seat belt in a 67 but not in a 68. But from the EMT/saftey standpoint seatbelts are very good.

Stat mandates what year a vehicle you can not have to use them
I always use mine. They have saved my worthless @ss too many times to ignore. Yes, even the lap belt saved me in the Longhorn wreck.

I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it.
FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.
