Default Replacing the female end of the seatbelt...

Hi everyone! Well, the female part on my seatbelt does not work anymore on the driver side. Unfortunately, it can't be fixed.
What I was wondering, would the seatbelt part that I need fit mine if it is from another GM with the same type of body from the same era?
Any advice would help!

all '82-'87 Monte/Cutlass/Regal/Grand Prix seatbelt stuff is interchangable. possible even more models and years than that, but what I listed is definate.

You are definitely dead on about the Buick Regal, from which I just got it at the junkyard. Only just under 10 bucks! Thanks on that!

The difficult part about the whole thing was how TIGHT the damn bolts were to take out. I had to go through 4 cars: one '85 Monte, two Caprices, and then finally the Regal to take the bolt off. The kicker was how hard it was to remove the bolt from mine before putting in the seat belt. I literally had to use vise grips since the opening stripped for the Allen wrench. But, it finally went in easier than taking out.

Next time I go to the junkyard, I am definitely going to pick up an extra seat belt clamp.

Crap, it wasn't a Regal. Now that I can remember, it was a Le Sabre.
