Yes they are for shoulder belts, but they didn't come from the factory with the belts, just holes to mount them with. But very easy to install.

While all '67-'72 cabs have provisions for shoulder belts, they weren't offered until 1969. Here's a picture of a '71 or '72 with factory shoulder belts:

All '73-up trucks had shoulder belts.
