May try cleaning out the buckle as best can - these things tend to collect crud and goo and the like which may prevent them from freely capturing the belt tab. An alternative would be to snap into the middle seat or passenger seat buckle, on the thought that some belted protection is better than none.
Other than that - may check the junk yards for a suitable, less expensive replacement.

If the bolts in the floor will undo, you can move the center belt receiver over to replace the driver's. Seat belt light won't go off, but it's just temporary

Soak the floor bolt with liberal PB Blaster. Then heat the bottom/underside of truck with a mapp gas torch. Use an Impact gun to remove the torx bolt. You do not want to strip or snap off this torx bolt.
