Seat belts. That hole is where the retractor reel for the shoulder belt bolts to the cab.

If your truck has been fitted with newer (1978+) seat belts, that hole will no longer be used since the newer belts have a different configuration that places both the lap & shoulder belt retractors down on the floor beside the seat.

The seat belts mounted in the door jambs? How did the doors shut?

They mount to the back side of the door jamb ... in the upper cab corner area. As viewed from Westwind's photo, you'd only see the head of the mounting bolt in the door jamb.
