    Hello all
    I recently did a seat swap from a '01 bench to a set of '98, 60/40 seats. As I found out after installing the seats, the male end on the seat belt does not work with the 98 receivers that are bolted into the bucket style 60/40.
    My option now is to switch the seat belt/ seat belt assembly to a 98 by getting into the inner of the cab wall where I am unsure about the compatibility between '98 and '01 bolt up scheme. Or swap the receiver end on the seats themselves to an '01. There seems to be a "star" like screw with a nub in the middle which attaches the receivers just to make things a little difficult for a simple receiver swap. I am not sure the which would be less trouble, or the easier way to go. I also heard it is possible to shave down the buckle itself...
    Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated.
