If you want 3 way belts there is a diagram that shows how to do it.

I had to add a metal extension up from the floor so that the buckle latch came through the space between the seat back and the seat base. Six inches of additonal belt length over a stock aftermarket set of belts, would have greatly simplified attaching the inner belts to the cab floor.
Also be sure to add a metal triangular reinforcement piece to the upper mount area. The stock sheet metal without the reinforcement will not adequately provide a secure upper mount. I have some pictures of the upper reinforcement in my Webshots Chevy albums. Hope this helps.

I've given you a few suggestions and basically show you the location that worked for me. Check page 12 of the T&T webshots album.
