    I used these guys for a couple belt sets, just basic lap belts for the rear seat on my old dodge truck and the CJ5 I used to have, the price was right, they got shipped fast and I would recomend them. In fact I am going to need to get belts for the Commado here soon.....

    Seatbelts, along with many other safety features, were required by law starting in 1967. The rules came out in 1966 and became effective in March 1967. The seatbelt rule was one of the first Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and would have been applicable to vehicles built after March 1967. Some manufacturers may have added the belts and other safety features before the rules were required. IIRC Chevrolet made belts standard equipment in 1966.

    My Jeep has the factory belt mounting points, but there were no belts, and it appeared that the bolts had never been out.

    YJ belts work good, and say Jeep. I'd mail you a set but shipping from Canada would be $$. I don't think I have 4 sets, definetly 2.

    100 miles to a JY? Time to start your own Patrick.

    All US passenger cars, beginning with 1962 models, have seat belt anchorages for at least two lap belts in the front seat. Since Jan 1,1968 vehicle manufacturers have been required to install lap belt anchorages for each front and rear seating position and upper torso belt anchorages at each forward facing outboard seating position. On Jan 1, 1972 this same requirement became effective for trucks.

    I just received a set of their (www.gotbelts.com) 3 point retractable for Pete in orange. Not installed yet but looks to be a quality product. They were 61.95 + s&h. It came Priority mail in two days.:v6:

    got these for mine, good quality classic look, color matched and I recall them being cheaper than anyone else, including the junk yard.
