Chevy venture/clone? ?

I have a 98 venture with captain's chairs in the middle row. I've been thinking about seeing if I can find a set of the 3 smaller seats out of a newer venture so I have the option of having another non carseat rider in the back and shorter seatbacks. I'm worried about the seatbelts though, will the middle seat come with a lap only belt or will I have to get a seatbelt from a dealer? And carseat installations, I've heard that the seatbelts on those seats are horrible for non latch installations,

Anyone who's swapped their seats or has a venture with the 3 seats?

I have a friend with a 2004 Montana with the 3 seats in the second row. The middle is a lap belt.

I don't think you can do it. The three seats are individual and you would have to have the anchors for the to hook to. So you would need six anchors in the floor front and back for the seats pretty sure you only have four(hope you know what I mean by anchors or maybe clips are a better description)

I do have 6 sets of seat anchors already. Apparently chevy/gm vans all have the exact same floor mold regardless of the trim level. I should have taken a picture, I just had all the seats out, but you can clearly see where 3 seats will snap in.

Than you should be set if you can find the seats, the middle one has a lap belt on any I've seen(which is about 4-5)
