Does the 02-05 seats fit the 96-97's?

would be nice to replace the seats of my wife's 97 explorer w/ the new seats...
also, is there a place that I can find OEM parts for the stock intake.
thanx

There's a slight chance they may fit. But you would have to reuse your origional seat tracks that are currently in the truck. Someone suggested before that Ford may have used the same pattern(if thats what its called) on their seats. Meaning that any seat would bolt to any seat track. I don't know the truth to that, but its a good theory. Someone may have more info about it.
