    I recently acquired an 88 379 and the truck's PO changed the seats to newer 379 seats. In doing so, when I picked it up, it had no seat belts. I'm attempting to find, buy, and install seat belts in the truck and I'm not finding a 3 point harness hole on the upper cab. Did the early 379's only come with lap belts? What year did they switch to 3 point?

    One of my trucks is an 88 Pete and has only a lap belt. Don't know when the harness came into being.

    I'm not sure when the 3 point came into play either. My truck just has a lap belt I have only been asked one time about it on the loud speaker.

    My 93 had the new style. But my 89 DIDNT have one. I never wear them anyhow, cousin was killed in a truck due to seat belt so I won't wear one. If I was gonna wear one it'd be a lap belt.

    If you wanna add 3 points check WESCO PERFORMANCE--make all types of aftermarket belts and safety harness'
