Putting 08 and newer seats in 06
Ok I am getting ready to put new front buckets in from 08 or 09 into the 2006 model. The pedestal I think is the same and should interchange. Obviously the seat belt is not on the newer o8 09 model years. It should come off the door pillar. Has any one ever done this and if I remove the rectangular trim piece that reveals the trim screw, I dont see any obvious bolt hople to qattach a new seat belt assembly. I havent fully removed black plastic trim to see if the pillar has predrilled and threaded holes for seat belt assembly. Anyone done this conversion?????

So after getting all the materials including the 09 seat Belts. I went to install them but after removing the Pillar trim to get ready to install the seat belts. The pillars are different in that there is no nut on the pillar to put the seat belt bolt in to. The new seats require the pillar seat belt. The electrical connections under the seat are also different. I can work around that, however this seat belt problem has me stumped. Obviously for safety reasons it has to be done right. My autobody guy said the ONLY way was to change out the pillars on both sides which would cost 8 to 10 grand to do. There must be a bettter solution to doing this just to have the seat belts. Just not sure what it would be.
Any Help would be appreciated
Congrats on finding seats ( I have been looking for 2 wheat colored door panels with no luck) can you post a pic of your deuce. Obviously you located an 08-09 in local yard can you post a pic of that. It will make for better suggestions.
