I'm currently working on a 1964 El Camino, and I have a few questions about having passengers riding in the truck bed. From what I've read it appears that as long as seat-belts are installed it would be acceptable. I'm curious since this is an older car, and seat-belts are not required in the cab, if the same would apply to the bed. I don't plan on driving people on the highway or freeway, but it would be convenient to drive around town with people in the bed. If I am required to install seat belts, is a roll cage or something similar needed? I'm also struggling to find regulations on the seat belts themselves to ensure they match the requirements of the law for both my cab, and potentially the bed.
