[QUOTE="browned out, post: 825874, member: 8105"] [COLOR=blue]Most drivers were trained; sit in the seat, grab your seat belt, turn the ignition and get rolling while you are buckling your seatbelt. If the wheels rolled a foot or ten; it was fine. In the 70s and 80s alot of trucks did not even have jump seats let alone seatbelts on the passenger side. The sup would stand in the back of the truck or in the cab on rte. It will take some older drivers time to adapt to this new habit and then it will be gospel to them.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]This peak, we had a driver helper stuck in jumpseat because it would not un buckle. The mechanic had to cut the belt to get him out. The mechanic brought out a new seatbelt assembly for a 7 cube. The truck involved was an 86 8 cube.
