seat belts
My drivers side buckle has called it quits. I want to replace it, does anyone know what size torx bit that bolt is? Also does anyone know if there is an after market place to get a new buckle? I checked jcwhitney but the buckles they generic and I would like one that is a match. thanks in advance
Get one from your local junkyard. 
The dealer will probably want over $100 for it.

thanks steve, Its 70 bucks from ford. I went to the Junk yard first yesterday, no luck the ones that might have worked were in bad shape or not coming out. I can't even get that bolt loose on my belt with on of those wrenchs I am going to go to sears and see if I can get a torx socket so i can use a breaker bar.

Spray some Liquid Wrench (or other penetrating oil; NOT WD-40) from the underside of the truck to lube the tip of the bolt. It's covered with undercoating/rust/mud, and the bolts are oversized anyway so they don't back out of the nuts over time.
