Did some 68's not come with shoulder belts? ? ?

[skip68]

My 68 does'nt have shoulder belts, should it have them or did some come without them?

As of 1/1/68 shoulder belts were mandatory, I have seen some early ''January'' 68 built cars that did not have them.

  My build date was Sep. 21 1967,  so that explains why I don't have them. Thank's Dan.. Chuck.

I wonder if the non-equipped cars were transitional leftovers they decided not to upgrade. My car is a January 17th car and has them.

Does anyone with shoulder belts actually ever use them???   My Dads 73 road runner has them and i dont think they have ever been used..

I was wondering if i should put them back in my 68 Charger, even though i dont know if i'll use them.  I probably should though "safety is no accident"

I used the lap belts but, hardly ever used the shoulder belts in the '68 when I drove it a lot. Since they do not have a recoil adjustability is very limited and once you position yourself in the car they are just generally uncomfortable IMO. I am sure they would keep you in place during a crash though.

if you do not cut through the headliner I doubt anyone would ? if they were ever in there

I think that would include mine. I have found no evidence of my Jan. 8, '68 Charger ever having shoulder belts.

Thanks. Mine only had the fronts and they came out of something other than a Charger.

my shoulder belts on my roadrunner clip above the door and they were annoying and i never used them so i just unbolted them and took them out for now.  i hardly use my lap belt, and i've been stopped by the cops a couple times without either on and never got questioned..
