We have a 2005 Chevy Tahoe at the fire department as a spare vehicle. The other day on shift I had to drive to a class. Well low and behold i get in realise the front bucket seats have the seatbelts built into them like our 2nd gens. So now we have another option for seats. I'm sure brackets can be fabbed. Heres a pic of 05 Tahoe front seat.

BMW E46 convertible seats also have integrated seat belts. I’ve been considering this for a bit. I know the seats are pretty comfy, and come in similar colors as Dodge. I have not tried to measure anything. Plus they are pretty common in Germany.

Something different!

My 98.5 has seatbeltlocks built into the seatbelt reels, passenger side has 1 solenoid with 2 wires drivers side has 2 solenoids, one top and one bottom of the reel with a 4 wire plug,  if the box under middle seat doesn't see 47ohm resistance certainly for the pass side it puts seatbelt light on on dash and disables abs, drivers side faults if one solenoid is not right, I've tried a 47ohm resistor in pass side and the warning light goes out but it's not really a solution as the resistor gets way too hot.

A different solenoid wired in under the seat  might work as it might not get as hot, if original solenoids burn out seatbelt won't come out without stripping the  cover off and removing it off of the reel. I had to deal with both my seats as no warning lights on dash allowed here. 

If I lived in the USA i'd be buying every last known good reel I could find

But I was told by guys on here when I was posting about mine that Dodge stopped using these reels and went to a buckle warning instead which would make it easy to use any seat as you can buy proximity sensors that will pick up the buckle being put into the latch
