Default Seat belts

Hey guys.. just went to replace my carpet and the retractor for the seatbelt on the drive side is not working due to rust... I've called around getting prices of replacments and repair, but i was thinking i had read that the seat belts out of a F body car would work on our C3's Does anyone know or have they done this before?

A lot of guys here are using the gen 4 Camaro or Firebird rear belts. Lots of post and pics if you use the search on the tool bar above. Easy swap.

OK i guess I missed that you were dealing with a 77. I guess it could be different with a coupe unless you have the pass thru in the seats. Not sure when that stopped.
Do a search for Camaro seat belts and narrow your search to the C-3 sections. That should get you some more post.
