Seat Swap Question
I am looking for info and pictures if possible of anyone who has installed newer seats into there dentside.
I want to use a set of 2008-13 Harley F-150 seats due to style, comfort, and color scheme. I included a picture similar to the seats I want to purchase.

Beware - Measure the height of the seats from the lowest mounting point to the seat surface and compare to the stock seats.
Most of the later seats that have electric motors underneath sit much higher.
I just finished putting in Lariat Leather seats in the front of my CC and my head is about 2 inches from the ceiling. I'm 6'.
I fabbed brackets to sit them as low as possible and they are still much taller than stock due to the electronics underneath.
Think I'm going to have to put these in my EB and go back to a recovered bench in the CC.
If you want to ditch all the electric stuff you should be able to unbolt them from the late model brackets and put them on a stock(ish) slider and just get the basic functions.

Some fabing
I just took a set of buckets out of mine and put an original vinyl bench seat back in 
.... And I can tell you that the buckets had a custom bracket welded up to match the drop off you get on the floor towards the doors.... So im sure you will have to fab up a similar matching elevation bracket of some kind....... Would be nice to keep the electronics on those Harley seats tho....... Hell if your gonna go thru the potential PITA of putting them in ...Post some pics when your all done, prolly look pretty bad A $$
