Seatung Upgrade????

I have a 2007 SuperCab with a standard bench seat (Flint / cloth) in the front. I'd like to upgrade to captains chairs (Flint / leather). The plan is to locate the new seats from a salvage yard. I have two questions:

1 - Will this new captains chair swap out with my existing seat? I do have power seats, will the harness directly match up?

2 - If I do locate the captains chairs from a salvage yard, what should I expect to pay for them? How difficult would it be to remove them from the existing truck and to bolt into mine? Do I need to be sure to keep any specific parts which aren't in my truck?

Thanks for the help.

not sure about pricing, but you need to be careful that the new seats have a good passenger side airbag sensor

You may have more luck on E-bay or a shop that converts trucks and RV's. I did this with a F-250 but that is different in that the center seat was seperate from the buckets. I just had to find a console and install armrests on the existing buckets. In any event you may have extra holes in the carpet from the deleted center shoulder harness. Like Tylus stated there is a sensor in the passenger seat that senses weight that is connected to the dash air bag.
Keep in mind the buckets for Screw are different from Supercab because of the shoulder harness

Thanks for the feedback. The E-bay link is really fascinating, that seems like it might work. I'm going to check it out further.
