with a little finesse the seats go in fine. Still have to insulate the floor and put carpet back in but here is an idea of how it's gonna look.

I agree; I don't know where that seat came from, but it is definitely not a G body seat base.

Not to bring this up again but when I first mounted the Monte SS buckets in my Malibu there was a problem with them being offset and very close to the door. It looked exactly like the situation you have there. I had taken the tracks off to sandblast and paint them. I put them back in the wrong places. Once I figured out what I did they fit right but I had to look at a car that was put together to see the problem.

I just put the same seats in my 80 wagon but in blue. They do not fit nearly as close to the outside as those pictures. No issue with the seat belts at all. I would seriously consider swapping the tracks to see how it fits. I don't have them in at the moment or I would post a picture.

That was my comment.
I was looking at the seat belt bracket in this image:

It appeared to me the belt bracket was coming up and outboard at a very different angle than the G body anchor.
Looks like I was mistaken.

Re-read the posts and u might see where I told I think Longroof, THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT ATTACHED. Was only lieing there for reference. Check and see.
