There is really no hard and fast rule that can be nailed down nearly 50 years later. Essentially, either your cab has GM installed belts or GM provisions for belts or it dosn't.

There will be lots of debates on when Chevy Officially started installing belts as other than an option but the only real proof will be cab by cab inspection!

If ya don't have em add em....most effective automotive safety device ever invented....ever! Remember, 75% of people ejected from moving vehicals...Die. (Yes, I'm a safety manager.) Don't be an ejection statistic, wear a seatbelt.

Remember also, your dash is the old school steel splatter type. The shop techie wipes the dried splatter from yer face off of the steel with a damp towel and vacuums yer teeth off the floor mats when they are fixin the truck. Don't be a face splatter, wear a seat belt.
