Seat/Seat Belt Question

Has anyone used a seat from a 77 with seat belts from an 85 or so? It doesn't look like the retractor is going to fit beside the seat. Or is there a way to make it work? Here's what I'm working with:

83 cab (well, 84 but I'm not getting into that)
77 seat
81+ seat belts.

There has to be someone here who's tried it first hand. I need to know as soon as possible as my truck is getting inspected Friday and I need to have it together by then. Thanks guys.

I think that will work ok, I had a 85 K25 a few months ago with a 78 seat in it, and the original 85 seat belts, they seemed to work ok.

Re: Seat/Seat Belt Question

77 had the retractor on the rear pillar though. 78 and up works fine, but I was wondering if anyone has ever made 78+ seat belts work with a 73-77 seat.
