Default Possibly new seats- Mounting Question

Hey guys,
I have a 2010 XLT reg cab with the manual front 40/20/40 bench seat. I found a couple black leather Raptor seats on Craigslist that I would like to put in my truck.
Will these fit? Also- is it possible to remove the "power" items from them and transfer them to manual adjustments?
Any other problems I might have??

I am planning on keeping the middle jumpseat and having it wrapped in a matching black leather.

Thanks guys

The seats should fit. You might be able to unbolt the sliders from your current seats and unbolt the power sliders from the raptor seats and swap sliders, but I'm not sure if the seats are designed like that. I'm using my jeep knowledge assuming it is close to the same.

Will all work including the power. My last truck was a 09 xlt cloth interior manual seats. I swapped out the entire interior for raptor interior. Check my albums for pictures. I wired all the wiring up because the harness Adaptor didn't fit. You will have an airbag light possibly! I had it forever till the dealer finally got rid of it for me on my own dime. Good luck

looking at putting 09 lariat power leather heat/cool seats into a 2012 xlt with manual cloth seats.

i know the plug won't fit, any tricks to wiring it up? If i can't get the heat/cool to work I don't really care, mostly wanted the power adjustments ... anyone done a similar project?

I wonder if the wiring is already there under the carpet. If not the wiring should be easy enough for the power part, should Only need to bring a 12v wire to the seat as all the motors and switches are built into the seat. Wiring the heat/cool section would also need the 12v and a separate switch to control the power.

yeah i was wondering the same since sometimes its easier to mfg one wire harness for all then onlly use what is needed

i'm confident i can get the power seats part working, just concerned there'll be something with teh side airbags that requires a factory plug to be used rather than a connection of crimped on connectors. I'll take pics and let you guys know how it works out unless someone else posts what they've already done

got the "new" seats today - donor is an '09 lariat ... seats are in great condition (heat and cool)

however ... wow is there a lot of wiring under there, and of course the plug on my cloth manual seats is totally different than BOTH of the plugs under the new drivers seat (was hoping at least the airbag/sensor plug would be the same). I'll be pulling up the carpet to see if by any chance there is any additional wiring under there, but I'm not hopefuly ... there would have to be a lot

so....anyone have wiring diagrams for either an 09 lariat seats, or 12 manual cloth? otherwise I may give up rather than risk setting off the airbag on the new or old seats, or otherwise jacking any of the various computer modules

anyone have the wiring schematics? I've found them for just about everything but the seat harnesses
