shoulder belts

What year did the shoulder belt become mandatory in the pickups. I remember they came in the 76 1/2 tons, but I have a 76 F250 4x that didn't have any and I don't remember the 76 F259 2X that I used to own haveinf any. Did the 3/4 tons not have to have them as quick as the 1/2 ton models.

I have a 76 highboy w/lap belts only and a 77 highboy w/shoulder belts so i'm assuming they became mandatory in 77 (they may have been optional in 76).
