Update: I got the belts in from Wesco and then ordered their 1.5"x1" right angle bracket to mount the drivers retractor on. The passenger retractor goes vertical in the stock mounting hole.

I then ordered their passenger and driver buckle brackets, which are cadmium finished 1.25" steel ~2"x6" with a compound angle of 90 degrees in and 15 degrees upward tilt. The passenger bracket worked perfectly, placing the buckle between the console and the bucket, where the seat back and bottom meet.

The driver's bracket,and remember these are universal brackets, needed to be lengthened 2" on the bed end and have its 15 degree angle reversed. Now it's in a similar position and these belts look and work as well as those in a new vehicle.
