I've never tried to bolt Durango seats in, but I have seat brackets made by Corbeau to fit a Durango (I got a killer deal on craigslist) and I had to modify them to fit my Dakota. It's been a while but IIRC, the Durango bolt pattern was just a little wider than the Dakota.

Figured id put this up here if people are looking for answers. Durango to quad cab front seats are a direct swap. Ext cabs and reg cab have different seat mounts than the quad cab. I put durango seats in mine and the plug was not there under the passenger seat. i just tied into the driverside power and ran a wire under the carpet for the passenger side. As far as i know durangos didnt come with bench seats. I put a bench seat in my truck and had to take the rear mount on the passenger side non power rack and grind the rivets off and bolt it to the passengerside power rack from the durango.IMG_1435_zpsb9ae2aba.jpgIMG_1437_zps55e96fc0.jpg

Maybe the older daks are different but when I was gonna put leather durango seats in my 98, Im pretty sure the rear mounts were different from the bench seat.

Thanks, Chuck. Looks good.

Now for the next question.... Has anyone performed a seat cushion swap, as in swapping the bottom cushion from passenger seat to driver's? Mine is looking a bit flat.
