    New leather seats

    So i bought a set of seats out of a 02 and up silverado about i am putting them in my 99 silverado, how hard is this going to be, the scrap yard i got them out of cut the crap out of the wires how much work is re wiring going to be. thanks for the help.

    Here are a few pictures of the seats. one of the frames ended up being bent in half so it took a little longer to get that fixed. I wish i had pictures of the repair job. it is a piece of aluminum shower curtin rail, flattened at one end with a hole drilled in it, at the other end is a duct tape hose clamp and sheet metal support so the seat wont collapse. words dont do it justice.

    It is best to use the special socket but I have used a 12 point SAE(not metric) socket in the past and it worked fine.
