When did they change from belt to chain?

I tend towards conservatism, in trucks too.
Seriously; how many valves and related parts do you suppose you'd have to replace if a belt failed?

Generally speaking, if you are rooting around replacing a belt, most mechanics recommend replacing the water pump at the same time. And idler and tension bearings, I think.
