As I recall front seat belts were mandatory in '63. At the very least the 63 Belvedere my parents bought new had front belts. My dad had to install the rear belts as they were not mandatory, yet.

wow thanks Jim the ones in the trunk appear to never have been mounted no bolt or washer marks, the fronts appear to be factory installed by how they are bolted in, the coarse woven stuff is it repoped yet any body know?? Wonder if the original owner bought rears and never installed em just left em in the trunk??

Maybe by '65 they were in the trunk from the factory, but not installed (you know, it would have taken five more minutes on the assembly line and they couldn't afford that).
