My next question is, since I have a 76, and in 76 there was lap belts....can I get away with switching my early version of 3 points belts to lap belts? Could I get away with that since I have a 76? Or would you advise against that?

Yes, yours is the 3point with the upper retractor (little black box). Yes you could take those out and put just the 2 point seatbelts in. But when it comes to the law, I don’t know what your laws are. Being an older truck, you probably wouldn’t have any issues, even if you were stopped. I have 3point belts in my 86, and it is the law to wear your seatbelt. But I have to confess, a lot of times I don’t put it on. Not sure why, I just don’t when I’m just cruising around town in Big Red.
I have some 2 point belts, if your interested. I usually salvage all the belts I can, no matter what style, although the lap belts are more rare. But I restore them, so maybe I can do a set for you, if I have the color you need. I have a thread that I started not too long ago, about restoring them, a lot of before & After pics. I was posting them on my build thread, but I finally started a thread just for the belts.
