Rear seat swap

I have a 2000 f250 super cab and I've read that I can swap the rear seat with newer versions. My concern is the lack of headrests and the lack of a shoulder belt for the center seat. My kids ride in the back often and having their head against the glass bothers me. It looks like the 2008 and newer seat had the center shoulder belt and the 2011 and newer seats have the headrest. I'm just wondering if anyone has made this swap and could give me some input. Pics would be great. I'm having a hard time finding the newer seats so if someone knows of a source that would help a lot. Everything I find is for a crew cab.

I would have bought a crew cab but it took me a long time to even find a super cab that met my criteria. Thanks to anyone that can point me in the right direction!

I have a 2012 F250 ... my rear seats.. only has 2 head rests.. and they bolt below the rear window.. not to the upright of the seats...

just so you know.

e-bay .. but not easy to find.. or local wrecking yard.

So they bolt to the cab? Any drilling required? Would you happen to have any pictures? Thanks for the response.

I have no photos...

yes to the cab.. mine came Factory this way..

the cab rear wall is threaded.. for bolts...

as I so disliked the head rests in my way of seeing rearward...
I have no passengers... I removed the lower part of the rear seats.. for added storage..
my past truck was a Ram 1500 standard cab.. no second seats .. 11 years worth. so I like the super cab for lockable storage.

also the seat uprights ( one piece ).. have 3 latches .. may also need to know this if changing second seats from newer truck.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll have to live with the lack of headrests and look for a 2008-2010 seat so I can at least get the center position shoulder belt.
