In the United States, vehicles manufactured before 1968 are generally not required to have seat belts. The federal mandate for seat belts in passenger vehicles began with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, which required all new cars to include seat belts starting in 1968. Therefore, vehicles from 1967 and earlier do not have to be equipped with seat belts. However, regulations can vary by state, so it's important to check local laws for specific requirements.

Are seat belts required in a 1973 Jeep?

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...
