early 3rd gen seats in late 3rd gen ram
I have a 2007 ram 1500 quad cab and I have found a nice set of seats from a 2005. They are the older seats where the seat belts at the front attach to the floor instead of the seat. I have heard these are interchangeable but does my late 3rd gen have the mounting holes in the floor like the early gens or will this swap not work?
Thanks
Thanks
Im not sure I have ran into this issue yet, my only pre 06 truck already has the seats removed so i cant inspect. I don't recall the seatbelt having an extra bolt, it would just be shared with the seat mounting
I know seats are swapped between all 3rd gens and a lot of 4th gens, with no one ever mentioning this before that I've seen, I think you would have no issues at all

Thanks for the reply. It's not an extra bolt it's the fact that on the later 3rd gens the front seatbelt is attached to the actual seat whereas they aren't the older gen seats. Upon doing more research it looks like there is a tab in the carpet I can pull up for the old mounting bracket. I'll probably need the old seat belts as well then.
