Hmmm, we jumped from a period correct looking '62 1 ton stepside to '66 shoulder belts. Ok, since my interest is in all things factory, I'll take it on. Yes, this was a mid year option on '66's. Early production '66 trucks don't have the rubber grommet where one would have been added. Mid year trucks came with the rubber grommet in the location, but very few trucks were ordered with shoulder belt option. Here is a period photo which cleary shows a '66 ( note custom cab seat upholstry with white stripe all the way acros). I bet this truck in photo is a very highly optioned vehicle( auto, air cond. power steering power brakes etc., wish I had more photos of this one.
