Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that pretensioners didnt start till 05-06 and all the structure behind the fenders is just spot welded on so with some patients and a good spot weld cutter you can easily swap out what you need I would keep all your 03 wiring. I'm going to correct myself I got seats from an 03 edge and put them in my 06 the 03 seats did not have pretensioners I had to use my 06 parts for that as far as your 03 seat belts go if they work the way they should they will be fine as far as the cab goes they are the same from 98-2011. Should be an interesting thread to keep an eye on
Thanks for the structure info, I am sure I can cut the spot welds (worst case I have an angle grinder!) and I should have welding access. As for seat belts, look down...

04 and up are equipped with pretensioners.
2001+ trucks had pretensioners on both sides (I have owned multiple 01-03 trucks, so I doubt all have been modified by different people). Seat belts changed all the time, 98-00, 01-03, 04-06, 07-11 are all their own things.
