Anyone tried swapping seats from a 3rd gen into a 2nd gen? I know the seats in all of my 3rd gen trucks were way more comfortable then the 2nd gen seats ever thought about being....

REALLY? Well I'm not sure if they will bolt right up in the same spot...

You really think the 3rd gen seats are more comfortable than the 2nd gen seats? I HATED my seats in the 05 Cummins I had for a while... very uncomfortable...IMO

I love the seats in my 97 Ram, I can drive all day in that truck and never cramp up

There is a guy on DT that did it, believe there is even a write up. However, he did it with power seats and did a really good job.
