Are your seats just worn out and need recovering? Many folks here have used new skins from Auto Upholstery | Leather Seat Covers | Foam Cushions | Home page with great results.
If you want to replace the entire seats then you can use the front seats out of a Super Duty pickup, they are the same up until recently.

The passenger seat leather is torn, but the driver's is hurt where the previous owner kept just sliding out because it's lifted, plus some of the seat motors are inop. I would be happy to repair if possible.

I would also recommend replacing the lower foam cushion if yours is broken down or you are installing a new cover.
many suppliers on the net, I'll leave vendor recommendations to others.
the seat only has one motor and failures are not common, the switch on the other hand seems to fail once in a while. replacements are available ( I got mine out of a Lincoln Navigator in the junk yard for $5 )
all the other parts from metal frames, heaters, lumbar adjuster , ***** ect are widely available from many sources.

just one motor? Hmmm. I have, very weak forward and backward movement, but the up and down for the seat bottom work unevenly leaving the seat crooked.
Anyone else wanna throw some vendor names/sites at me. The seat shop looks pretty good, thanks, but I would like to shop a little.

Well I have a brand new seat foam that I'm waiting to install. Once it's installed you can have my old foam, it's not ripped or torn and according to the website that sells them they can be re-plushed.
