Can anyone tell me when Ford started installing a center seat belt in the single cab bench seat trucks? Specifically, will a '76 F-250 Camper Special have a center belt as standard equipment? Thanks.

I have a 1976 Camper Special, It was equipped with center belt. Whether or not this was a factory option or not I couldn't say, because it is removeable.
I had a 74 Super cab, it also had a center belt. I would assume that all of these trucks had them, never thought about it.
I used a 78 Roof on my 76 cab and ended up with shoulder belts because of it.

 

From general memory, as this has been covered before. You are legally supposed to have seat belts if there was a factory mount for them, whether they left the factory with them or not.

 

Thanks guys. The truck does have seatbelts, but the guy I'm buying it from has it in storage and can't remember if there's a center belt or not. I was planning to take my wife and son to pick it up and make a road trip out of it, but if there's not a center belt I'd have to be prepared to install one on the spot. I know my '67 doesn't, but I've seen a lot of them from the late '70s that do.

 

How cool, I was wondering where this was going

 

Check it out. This thing is awesome, and like new.

 

that looks pristine, congratulations on that find!

 

That is going to be a whole amount of fun
