Its First for me. It might have been a northern thing, but I doubt its just a simple plug an play. You'll have to look and see what style connector the seat in your truck use.

Its doable, but you need to see if you have the additional harness for the power of the heater elements. If you dont you are going to have to run a battery fee, and a switched ignition feed of 30 amps.

I would not thenk a GEM swap would be needed, the heater controls are built into the seat, you just need power, relay and fuse protection.
