This is not a good idea. If you get in a crash, the cab can break
away from the frame and the seat belt will cut you in half if it
tries to go with the frame and you try to go with the cab...
On the TF/s, seat belts were a dealer installed option, covered in
the Accessory Installation Manual. They tied to reenforcing plates
under the rib in the cab floor behind the seat.
