I have found seat belts for the 76-86 models are getting harder to find. can I use a set of belts with shoulder harness from a later model in my 78 single cab? will they bolt up. etc.? thanks

Not sure in this specific case. BUT, I had a 79 with working belts I wanted to swap to my 85 and I did except for the buckle part or they would've worked.

I'm pretty sure that the newer one will work. But like ZACH said you will need to use the shoulders with the matching buckles

They are out there, in the trucks at the salvage yard. I was very lucky and found a truck only 45 mins away, that had all the belts still in. And they were in excellent condition!!!
