im sure it's possible. ive seen crazier things happen. all it would take would to swap the seat brackets, which may require cutting and/or welding. you could take 'em to an interior installer and have them do it

Don't take offense to this question, but I have to ask, why would you add those style seats to that year model truck? They're designed to flow with the NBS design and would seem out of place in a 97-03 aero styled truck. Not to mention, I own both and I think my 02's seat are more comfortable then the 06 I drive.

Like I stated before, it seems like the style and look of them will REALLY look out of place in a 97-03 F150. The seats are really square in the 04 to current models.

That said, I'm sure it may work, with a little modifications here and there.

I agree about the leather they use in the Lariats. Man I can't count the lariats I see with the drivers side seat torn from the driver getting in and out.
That KR leather is some fine leather!

I'm a fan of the suede the Lightnings had.

There's a huge auto parts salvage yard about 3 miles south of me that may have some. I thought I actually seen a KR the last time I went down that way which was about a week ago. I'll check, keep in mind I'm in Ga. shipping may be hella high! Only other thing I could suggest is look on craig's list and keep hitting the salvage yards. Hell leave them a number to contact you at. I've done it in the past and when they get in what you're looking for they'll give you first shot at the parts. I bought some Supra seats that way years ago.
