Hey guys,
I'm pretty sure these are simple questions but I don't know the answers as I'm pretty new to sierras.

I have a 1984 NT sierra.

Do WT sierras come with retractable seat belts?? Is it an easy swap if so.

Can the stupid passenger side seat rail be swapped for one like the drivers side.

Do WT side mirrors bolt straight in

Cheers I am advance

1. Yes. And it depends whether or not you have the cavity in the base of the B-pillar or not. If there is a black blanking plate there, retractable units from a later model will fit straight in.

2. Whats wrong with your pass-side seat rail? Rat trap type?

3. Perhaps. But its an easy mod regardless.

A later model seat and rails should swap straight in.

As Pete said, some NT's have a blanking plate held in with 4 screws. Remove the screws, fit retractor... Easy as... If you don't have the blanking plate then fitting retractors will still be possible bit it WILL be a drama, both physically and legally.

WT mirrors definitely fit NT.

Your NT will have a flat floor on passengers side, hence the different seat rails to drivers side.
If you can get access to a WT wreck you can drill out the spotwelds of the passsengers seat mounts and weld them all into your car.
