I searched the forum with no luck in finding an answer.

I want to get rid of these seats:



and replace with this type of seat:


My challenges are the existing mounting holes that aren't showing through the carpet (I hope they are there) and feeling around for the power lead on the driver's side if I do get a powered seat.

What I am not sure about is what I would do with the existing seatbelt setup in my 99 as they mount just behind the doors and down on the floor. The seats I have pictured come out of a 2003 F150 where the seatbelts are integrated into the seat.

Maybe I just go with this style but in bucket with a center console?



Any advice is much appreciated or a point in the direction of another thread that already has this detail.

 

where are the pics?

The holes should be there unless you are going from a 60% to a 40% seat on the passenger side...

You will have to make a power seat harness, nothing hard, i did it on my friends chevy half ton.

Are the pics not showing for everyone? Or just pulling up slow?

Right now I want the take the 60 side and convert to a 40 so that I will end up with two buckets (40/40) and a center console (20). I read in a couple threads that on an XLT, the existing mounting holes are usually under the carpet, just a matter of poking a hole.

 

no pictures...

 

Hopefully they are showing now

 

I think my pics are showing now...

 

I can't believe that nobody has tried this...

 

I wanted to do this in my 99 but sold it before I got around to it .. The research I had done (I had buckets with a center console, power driver seat, cloth) was the newer seats would fit fine. The only questions I had were if the power wiring harness would fit, and what to do about the old seat belts (integrated in the new seats, over the shoulder in the factory seats).

If you can find a cheap set online or in a junk yard go for it! Had I not traded mine I would have done it.
