Will 4th gen seat belts bolt in on a third gen?

Tomorrow I might be able to get a set of black or grey 4th gen seats and was wondering if the seat belts would work too.

I think the front ones can fit woth little modification, but the rear will be your biggest problem. Your car has no rear shoulder belts, and all 4th gens came with rear shoulder belts. The mount for them may be there, but I'm not sure, as I've never seen that area on a pre-90 (I belive thats when they started getting rear shoulder belts) Even if the mount was there, you'd still have to drill 2 holes in the floorboard on each side (4 total). I have heard of a guy that has done this, but I'm not exactly sure how far the swap went. I will try to find out some more information for you and post it up here.

You should really look through the tech articles on this site more often, there are some really great ones in there.

LOL, I didnt know he made a tech article here. That was the guy I was going to ask, he's on my local F-Body mailing list. I guess I should take a look through some of those so I dont go giving crappy info anymore, lol.
