[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2865104, member: 15054"] In the link I posted it states. Cars manufactured after 1967 and vans, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles after 1971 are required by Federal standards to have safety belts. Belts must be installed in these vehicles if the original belts have been removed or are otherwise not operational. Belts do not have to be added on older models. I read the link and nothing in there stated original equipment needed to be installed in the vehicle. All 3 times i was pulled over in my 84 ford van I told the officers that i had Chevy and Dodge and Toyota belts in my van, all lap belts. They stated good enough and we went on our way. Lap belts have been around for a long time..Heck before seat belts were mandatory many circle track racers used lap belts and walked away from some terrible crashes. But those cars were modified with crash bars and cages. Many could flip on their top and be rolled back over , add oil and back in the game. I am just saying a lap belt is better than NO belt. I installed Lap belts in my 1947 dodge truck. Not required but ..I have left my forehead mark on a couple windshields and really do not care for that. [/QUOTE]
