New to site AND Dodge

[MLC Dodge]

I'm older now and have wanted a Mopar muscle car since a teenager. I am interested in something restored--like a Scamp or Duster. Could someone please tell me what model year started with 3 point seatbelts in Dodge vehicles. While I realize the cars of this era (70s) are not as safe as contemporary cars, I'd feel a little better with more than a lapbelt. Thanks much.

I know in 70 to 73 they had a shoulder belt you could use or not. My 74 dart has the lap and shoulder belt attached and you only use one buckle like the new rigs.

My 69 Dart has the additional shoulder belt as well.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe they became opptional in all mopars in 1968 (Except trucks?) and mandatory in 1974.

Thank you all. It looks like 74 was mandatory (according to the Google) for 3 point belts. Now I just need to find a nice Dodge A body.

Welcome
You can put aftermarket 3 point belts in any model. I think you would like aftermarket belts better than the factorys seperate shoulder belts and buckles anyway.
