They replaced the traditional lap belts and were marketed as a new safety feature for the rounded-line pickups and utilities. Ford and Dodge would follow one model year later with lap & shoulder belts for their pickups. Seatbelts had been mandated for pickups built after July, 1971. The rounded-line generation was also the first among the full-size pickups to introduce the "energy-absorbing" steering column. In a full front or offset front collision, the steering column would telescope inward and down, to prevent head & torso injury to the driver. The pickup is also equipped with the Trailering Special Package.

1968 brougham ◊ 2020-05-16 22:50	A few more pics. This truck has a 73/74 grille but is actually a 77. I have a 77 Sierra Classic grille that I may swap out later but preferred the 73/74 grille. The colors are slightly distorted due to sunlight but it gets the idea across. Hopefully more people will start to do a Rocky truck. They are really sharp when all done. I know there only seems to be a post put on here about every 5 years but thought I would throw out some pics just encase someone stumbles across it.

I've always thought I'd like to get a truck and make a clone of Rocky's.
