Do '88-98 seatbelts work in a square cab?!?

Hi guys,

I just bought a nice '86 SWB.
Unfortunately it's original seat belts were taken out.
Probably when they redid the truck from the original brown/beige to dark grey with a black/dark grey interior.

Here in the Netherlands, Europe I have to have seat belts in it, otherwise I can't register the truck.

Now I was thinking, would seatbelts out of a nineties C/K truck work in my '86?!?
Anyone tried this before?

4 years ago I had an '80 stepside with an updated interior. Seats and some other things from a 94-95 era C/K. I always had the feeling the seatbelts came out of the same donor truck the seats came out of.

I put a set from a 94 Extended cab (the floor piece if very thin) in my daughter's 82 everything bolted into the stock holes.

They may not catch on to it, but it IS illegal. All 84's had full belts.

I ment the part that mounts to the floor is slimmer than one for the regular cab. It slim design fits better between the seat and the door.
