75 Catalytic Converters

I think that 1975 was the year cats appeared on America cars. But did trucks have them in 75?

In '75 the weight break for emissions was 6000 Lb GVW. Trucks below that required catalytic converters to meet the stricter standards. Above that, they weren't required.
That was the reason Ford came out with the F150, they had a minimum GVW of 6050 lbs.
