Default Conversion to C6 seats

I have a set of seats from a C6 which I am placing into my 80. It struck me that the seat belts are not going to work on the new seats, and c6 belts won't work either. Any suggestions on what to do. Can an interior shop make seat belts that will work?

Wow I have never heard of C6 seats in a C3. You may just have to hit the wrecking yard and look at late model GM stuff until you find what you think may work.

Upholstery shops won't make seat belts due to liability reasons...insurance and lawyers etc.
