seat belt question

I have been trying unsuccessfully to locate a reciever for the passenger side seat belt I have been able to locate them for the drivers side. My question is can a drivers side be used? Is it molded differently and wont fit? I cant just look at mine and tell since they are so deteriorated. Anyone know if this would work?

Re: seat belt question

I believe the only difference between the 2 is that the passengers side is a bit shorter.It should bolt right up.Normally its the drivers side that is destroyed.I find many good passengers side buckles but rarely ever find a good drivers side

Re: seat belt question

If you buy one for a 92 they should work fine. You could buy them new from GM last year.

Re: seat belt question

Are you watching EBAY? There have been several over the past 3 months. I am looking for a driver's side piece and my search has found 4 or 5 passenger side units. What color do you need? My belt and buckle are fine. The plastic sheath that surrounds them is what has deteriorated. Also, modern day muscle usually has them as well for about $70. Good luck.
