[QUOTE="soberups, post: 432578, member: 14668"] Mid-1995 was the point at which 3-point belts became mandatory per the DOT. The International/Navistar P-1000's of that model year...numbered in the 135,xxx series....have attachment points in the door frame for a 3-point harness, but they are equipped only with a lap belt. Identical P-1000's produced later in that same year, numbered in the 136,xxx series, are all equipped with the 3-point belt. In other words....UPS continued to intentionally delete this feature up until the very last day that it was still legal to do so....even in vehicles that were designed from the factory to accomodate a 3-point belt. A replacement 3-point belt assembly [U]will[/U] bolt right on to a 135,xxx-series car equipped only with a lap belt. I wouldnt hold your breath waiting for it to happen, though. At least we can all take comfort in knowing that they will now spend $700 on a system that will make damn sure that they can fire us for failing to wear that lap belt. [/QUOTE]
