You be happy to know I recently threw a set of captains chairs in the trash....
So tired of the guys that think they are funny offering a 3rd of what your asking...
Not to mention the other half that make a deal and then ghost you.

GMT-800. I know a few guys have done the conversion and it works just fine. The heated seat portion is a bit more involved since 01-02 have a temp sensor so that has to be essentially grafted onto the 03-07 heating element or you can adapt the 01-02 element (not available new anymore) to the later style cover/foam.
I've seen the late seats put in, temp sensor retrofitted, and them work just like the OEM installed it.
As for connectors, I have a 05 LLY cab here that has the OEM required plug. I'd like to keep my 02 cab harness in tact so first step is to count wires and see if I can retrofit the 01-02 seat connectors to the 03-07 seats.
With the Katzkin kit, they have their own switch so I am going to likely try and 3D print a new insert to take the place of the OEM 01-02 heated seat buttons which shouldn't be hard.

Later style meaning 03-07 with integrated belts. Those foams are available and the covers are available from Katzkin whereas it appears back foam is non-existent for 99-02 style seats.
If my back foams were good I would be keeping these style seats but unfortunately both my back foams are obliterated. The only good foam is the passenger side bottom haha.
If you have any info on this send it to me. I have never seen it done on a powered 12 way. Getting the powered part isn't too bad but I do want to retain memory function etc.
I wonder if I can just install 03-07 bottom foam on my 99, that may look funky though.
Oooohhhh I was thinking you were going to do the gmt900 seats.
Guess it’s a good thing my foams and seat elements are still good.
You should find me NOS neutral arm rests for the door panels and a steering wheel. Rear door window switch trim would be a plus
I know the thread you are thinking about, but can't find it for the life of me. We were discussing how to add GMT800 captain's chairs to a vintage truck and keep the heated seat. Simplest way is to just wire the butt and back heaters to a 3 way switch as series/off/parallel which gives you low/off/high. But you can theoretically make them work with the OEM controls too if you bring enough modules off the donor truck.
I suspect @Bdsankey already knows/has a plan, but I did run across an old thread with some of the wiring for the 03+ seats: https://www.duramaxdiesels.com/foru...nual-seat-for-full-power-heated-lumbar.87297/
Steering wheel I have to search for... I bought one along time ago when GM went through the bankruptcy and the were clearing out inventory in the warehouses.
If not, I can search for a nice one. Arm rest are tuff because the jard monkey's that frequent the Jards rip the door panels off almost instantly to use in the dirt...
And because I know some one is going to ask why I spelled it Jard... well the individuals working there spell it that way. I will find the image later.

It’s so hard to say but I doubt it’s right. Pictures and screens skew colors so badly, unless my armrest was next to it, there’s no for sure way to tell without just buying it and seeing.
I’ve found a few on eBay but I’m not convinced they are worth buying. I’d rather find nos or try the Amazon ones and see how they look color wise.
I did find a company in Houston that will re-wrap my steering wheel for 300 bucks. There’s also a pretty cherry one on eBay right now too
That’s what I’m told and from what the pics show

I might have them do the painted wood on the top and bottom. Will be hot during summer but the leather won’t wear

Did Craft Customs move? They were in Rockwall last I spoke to them. And yes they do VERY good work. They take the wheel completely apart and redo it.

Their website still says Rockwall. James being from a suburb of California may think every city in Texas is a suburb of Houston...
I wonder if they can do anything for the steering wheel on my 06. The leather is actually in pretty decent shape, but for some reason the foam on the spokes is really worn. I guess I like to rest my hands and fingers on the spokes more than I like to grip the wheel.
