Hey guys my 62 D100 doesn't have any door armrests in it nor does it look like it came from the factory with them. I have a couple doors off a 64 that came with armrests. What year did they start putting them in the pickups or was it a option? Also what year did they start with seat belts, mine also has none?

Re: Armrests?
Armrests were optional in 61 and were standard with the Custom cab. Seatbelts were standard in 1965, possibly before.

Re: Armrests?
We bought a one year old 1965 and there were no seat belts in it. Maybe late 65 had them?

Re: Armrests?
My 65 Series I Utiline had no seatbelts and no provisions for them. I bought it from the original owner.

I've had some 69's with seatbelts and some without. They were at least optional until 69.

So what's wrong with setting beneath a single pull string incandescent light bulb writing angry letters?

Re: Armrests?
It was either late 65 or 66 that they became standard.
Here is a 67 brochure and seatbelts are listed as standard equipment:

1966: http://www.oldcarbrochures.org/index.ph ... Pickups-05
Late 65: There is a brochure listed on ebay as 1965. It is either late 65 or 66 but I can't find a year on it. It shows seatbelts as standard.

Re: Armrests?
seat belts in cars were federal requirement in 67. my 66s never have had seat belts. I ma not sure the law applied to trucks but I think it did.

Re: Armrests?
Truck requirement was a later yr than cars.
