I HAVE A 1991 FORD F-150 SUPERCAB TRUCK WHICH I PURCHASED NEW.

I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE NHTSA SAFETY REGULATIONS WEBPAGE BECAUSE I WAS BAFFLED AT THE FACT THAT MY1991 PICKUP DID NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF HEAD RESTRAINTS. I FOUND THAT UNDER STANDARD 202 THAT ALL CARS, MULTIPASSENGER VEHICLES, TRUCKS, AND BUSES WITH A GVWR OF 10,000 LBS OR LESS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE HEAD RESTRAINTS EFFECTIVE 1-1-69.
