1994 and they were standard. Just the drivers side first. I forget when passenger air bags started, 1998 or 2000, somewhere around there.

Only moparts gets the posting responces so garbled up This was intended as a quote add on to the responce above it. Passenger side airbags came into effect. 1998 for the 1500-3500 trucks 1997 for the Dakota 1998 for the B vans

My 93 Dakota has a driver side air bag, least that's what the cover says. Gene Yes, the Dakota got a DAB in 93. I was speaking of the full size truck since the OP didn't specify B van or Dakota. And thanks 135sohc for the PAB clarification.

Sorry about the confusion! I was interested in air bag info on the full size trucks.
I read on another website that the air bag was introduced in 1994, just like Guitar Jones mentioned. It seems like I saw a drivers side air bag in a late square body rams. 1992 or 1993 perhaps???? Is my memory just incorrect? Was the air bag available as an option before 1994?

Now could you put the newer column and or steering wheel in the 93 and prior? Yeah you can but there is way too much stuff to actually make the air bag functional.
