Whatever the vehicle came with when it left the factory is what is required.
lap belts only lap belts only
Should have factory lap and shoulder belts. AMC changed this in either the '81 or '82 model year, I believe it was '81.
Yes. The only autos not coverd under the seat belt laws are the ones built so long ago that they were not installed at the factory. yes you need seat belts in the jeep however Because of the year of your vehicle you are only required to have what would have normally been installed by the factory in 1973 which would have been the front seat and rear seat single Lap belts. The 3 point shoulder belts that are used today were not required in US vehicles until Feb 1974 so there were many pre 1974 model vehicles with just lap belts and no shoulder belts...
