Re: Fw: 65 Satellite lap belts

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A 1961 magazine article wrote about manufacturers offering seat belt anchors as standard equipment in 1962. (Front 
only I assume.)

WikiPedia has a page that goes through the evolution of seat belt laws in the USA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_belt_laws_in_the_United_States 

If you have a friend who has a 1968 up B-body you can ask to look at the mounting locations under the rear seat.

Here are some photos from a F*rd install.
