I found some with the belts built in to them. The drivers side cushion is torn. My plan is to upholster them to match the back seats. They are power and heated. Paid $100 for both. I'd like to think i scored.

I'd say you scored BIG!

Very nice looking project so far. Keep including pix.

You'll probably want to run a hot wire with a relayed and fused wire and probably about a 50 amp relay and fuse but I am not 100 % sure on what the amp load is just yet. It looks like the original body control harness has a 50 amp fuse so far as I can tell but it might be 30 amps is all it needs for the seats (because the harness has a few other items plugged into it rather than just the seat heaters (such as power seat motors and the stuff in the center consoles). I've been meaning to take and hook a battery up to my seats and test the amp load but I just have not finished unpacking and organizing stuff from my move yet.

Yes there's a lot of wires under the seat. I've noticed most of them are to the motors to move the seats. But one main plug. I should get a picture of the bottoms. I also will probably needs to buy switches because the switches were in the door from the donor.
