Where seat belts an option for my 71? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all,

I don't see any evidence that my blazer ever came with seat belts? Is this a possibility for my 71.

I want a complete set of factory belts. Will I also need mounting brackets or should the threaded holes be under the carpet?

Thanks,
Tim

They were Mandatory in all year Blazer's.
By 1965 all State's had enacted the mandatory seat belt law.(meaning manufactures had to install them as standard equipment)
1984 is when it became law that you HAD to wear your seat belt.

My 71 has seat belts, my 69 also had them. The mounting holes are most likely hidden under the carpet.
