I have a friend of mine that recently purchased a 1969 GTX that the previous owner had installed a bench seat in, I have since sold him a pair of buckets to replace the bench seat so what I want to know is did the federal head rest mandate for 69 models include early production 69's or did the law take effect later in the production run for 69.
 
So basically all 69 models would have been equipped with head rests ?
 
Agree with 1/1/69. I believe very early 69 production was made with headrests optional, so some early 69 cars didn't get them. But I would assume that November-on production would all have headrests. The mandate wasn't a surprise and they wouldn't want to build a bunch of cars and then have to retrofit headrests.
 
Thanks for all the replies, looks like now I have to find a set of head rests for him.
