Don’t quote me, but I want to say that the 07-13? seats are a direct swap. I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure a few people have swapped them into the GMT800
That's what I have read too, but I swear every time I read about it, they say the newer seats are less comfortable.

I have not installed them in mine yet but I just got these in for my NBS 99 Sierra... I've started a thread on the work I'm doing at another site but not sure if its appropriate to post a link to there.
Anyways I've sat in the newer seats but I just think they are not as comfortable. So I pulled the trigger on Katzkin with perforated chocolate suede inserts and chocolate contrast stitching. Then ordered an extra yard of the suede to the the inset part on the door panels and the perimeter of the ceiling console. Katzkin by default includes some vinyl that matches the leather for the door panel insets that but I wanted suede to also tie in the color and its nicer. Also got a new burlwood wheel to replace the blackwood one I have to also tied things in.
I'm going all in since I've had this truck since 2002. Deadening the entire interior, pulled and cleaned the carpet (looks like new! ), finally replacing the crappy 4x6 rear speakers with some Polk plates, going to pull the headliner and redo it in suede, update my head unit to a newer one, adding an OEM microphone to the headliner from a newer Silverado (always hated the cheesy aftermarket one hanging out), also got a pair of the deluxe lighted dual mirror visors to swap the original basic ones, bunch more crap. lol Oh and I did get a new bottom cushion for just the drivers seat. I have stock leather and just that one is pretty much trashed on the bolster from being split open for a few years.

In my opinion, they are less comfortable. I own both and I like the leather seats in my '04 SSS much better than my NNBS Denali. The 14+ seats are a different story though, those are much nicer but I do not know what's involved in that swap. I remember seeing a guy on GMFS talking about it but I don't know where it ended up.

I’ve owned quite a few of the trucks over time, and I must say my 11’ Sierra seats were “meh” so so, my 17’ Sierra Denali seats are for the birds and my 01’ had the Leather seats with dual armrests and side bolsters. They were very nice compared to the others. My 02’ has cloth seats with the leg support that moves the bottom of the seat up/down. For a manual seat it is quite nice. I would look into Recaro seats or something of the sort

Lol - yes they are just laying on top of the seat in that pic just to get an idea of the look. When installed Katzkin covers fits perfect just like the original factory leather. They are not slip over covers, you have to fully remove the original covers to install Katzkin leathers. They attached exactly like the original factory ones.
