Did this swap this past weekend to my 2000 sd crew cab. Picked up the seat at the local auto recycler for $50 (decent shape, no tears, needed cleaning is all). The extra mounting bolt lugs were already in place, needed to be drilled through the floor pan and chased the threads to make sure they were clean. Very happy with the results.
