Convertible Shoulder Belts
Short answer: Yes — shoulder belts were available in first-gen convertibles; the 1969 Fisher Body Manual shows front and rear installation. The front belt’s outer strap anchored near the convertible-top pivot (coming through the box around the top mounts); the rear belt’s outer strap mounted in the trunk at one of the cocktail-shaker bolts.
Look at the upright rear-seat support of any F-body convertible — there’s a ~3″ indentation on each side for the belt to pass over. (One oddity: a rear passenger belted in tightly could get choked if you lower the top into its well.)
