Howdy All!!!


I was wondering if anyone had a site link to the law on seatbelts. From my understanding(and I could be wrong) is that seat belts were not required until 1964. Is this true? or do I have to install aftermarket seatbelts in my 58? Thank yall for your time....

 

I don't have a link, but from most of everything I've heard on the subject is that they are usually not required in vehicles originally not having them, or vehicles before a certain year. I believe in CA, for instance, that they are only required for '68 and newer cars, and '72 and newer trucks. Most likely your truck won't need to have belts installed. I think though that any vehicle on the road should be outfitted with belts, you never know what'll happen.

Each state is different. Illinois is any vehicle manufactured after January 1, 1965. So, some early 65 models are exempt.
