I have a 99 Suburban and had to replace my seat bottom, the previous owner had used duct tape and was super surprised when I told them the part was only like $100 and takes like an hour or two to change. So I did that and while I was in there I noticed the seat heater element was toast so I didn't bother cutting it out of the old seat cover and I have thus far been unable to find a replacement. Everyone keeps saying to just get a new (used) seat with a working one, and I don't want to do that, how long will that one last amiright, plus there's the hassle of trying to find a seat that isn't ripped up and is the same color etc. The other complaint I have about the driver's seat is the belt. It's pretty beat up, frayed, and it doesn't retract very well so I was wondering if anyone had tried swapping in the buckets from a newer truck. They have seat heater elements which can be replaced separate from the seat cover so replacements are readily available, and the seat belts are built into the seat back so I could eliminate the old ones. I know I'll have holes in the floor and b pillar trim to contend with but I can probably figure something out for that, the wiring probably won't match up, and I will have to mount the controls for the heater somewhere else, but I want to know if they will fit easy or if I'll have to fabricate mounts.
