I think that is all that is needed. And of course the power should already be under the carpet.

Hey Coop - here's a thought...

Unless you share that fine truck with another driver that requires you going through all kinds of adjustments will you really want to go through the hassle and expense of doing that swap?

And if you do swap driving duties with someone else - go for the big mod and include memory so that adjusting it back to you is just a single button push. Now that would be cool!

Well,this is for a friend of mine. He has a lariat with the leather and wants to swap for cloth seats. I have a set of the cloth seats out of my truck. My seats are manual, he wants to keep the power seat. So i thought I could just change out the tracks.

Read slower. Free leather, his buddy keeps the power though.
