And I have been considering changing out the 2nd Gen front seats in the crewcab. Well the other day I got these for FREE!
They are out of a 2004 Ram, power drivers side seat with lumbar support...drivers foam and cover are toast, and the console top/arm rest has a couple cracks, but considering what the junkyards want for a OK set I can't complain.
Been pricing out a new seat foam, cover and a new cover for the console. For about $250 I can have a nice set-up....way less then what I would have had to pay at the JY.

My toyota pickup seat had the same hole in the same location. Being 24 years old, the covers / cushions were discontinued.
Found a 4runner that had a perfect passenger seat. Paid $40. Turns out toyota was smart enough to use the same parts for both seats, except for the metal / mechanical parts of the seat.
Disassembled both seats, took the good foam and cover off the 4 runner seat, and installed it on the drivers seat with zero issue. Brand new drivers seat and my hiney loves it...

Awesome I love that wagon!
I'm pretty sure my uncle used a passenger seat bottom to swap out his drivers seat with on his 2006

Nice seats They look familiar 
You might get some helpful tips from this thread Driver's side seat foam problems? I have the cure! - DodgeForum.com
I knew I had that thread in my memory for a reason
The first page's pictures have since disappeared but there are a few on the 2nd.

I tried the pass side cushion on the drivers side on my 2nd Gen seat...didn't like how it turned out. They are not shaped the same, nor have the same clearances for hinges etc.

But my foam is totally toast, so will have to be replaced, but the additional burlap, and vinyl to help the new foam last longer will be a good idea.

Your head might touching the roof if you used the original brackets
That reminds me - I was going to ask if you could get a measurement from the top of your seat to your roof to compare the height difference.

Just a FYI, 4th Gen seats bolt in exactly the same as 3rd Gen and there are quite a few people who have put 4th Gen seats in their crew cabs
