Yes, they'll fit. You have to tap few holes though.

Here is my 2003 F150 reg cab before:

Do you have a bench or 40/60? If you have bench then you have to tap drivers bench (right side) and passenger's seat (left side). If you've already 40/60, then no tapping required. Anyway, if you take the carpet off, you'll pretty easily figure out where to tap (the holes are already there).

For ext cab (i.e. super cab), I would believe they'll work just fine - should be direct bolt on - no need to tap. Your current seats do not have built-in seat belts, right?

For power, I just pull a fused wire from battery (no big deal).

A friend of mine used to be in autorecycling business and he was able to locate these.
L seats are sometimes available in eBay - unfortunately the price usually climbs high and shipping costs are killer.
