Lower seat or covert to power seat

I have a recently acquired 2004 F150 Heritage with split bench seats in the front, but the drivers seat is just too high. I would guess I could go to a junkyard and get a power seat, does anyone know if it's an easy install?

If you just bought the whole seat from the appropriate year then it is a simple, power and ground hookup and bolt it in. If you are taking the motors and harness and tracks and putting them on the current seats than it is more involved (nothing hard just more to transfer)

There will be two sets of plugs on the bottom of the seat. One is the seatbelt reminder and the other is the motor harness. Make sure the salvage yard cuts the wires AFTER the harness is plugged and with enough slack for you to run the two new wires. A plastic harness is very expensive when you have to buy it from Ford. I recommend running the wires to the location you prefer (either constant or key only) and then bringing those wires to where the seat will be and then hooking up the seat, because I forgot that you can't move a power seat to bolt it in without power. You might get two in but the other two will be a no go. Speaker wire and the truck battery bailed me out of that one.

Hope I didn't make that seem much more annoying and complex than it really is.
