would the super duty seats be full power?

Like the ones I posted above... Yes. Mine are 6 way power (forward and back, front tip up and down, back tip up and down), heated and have a manual lumbar support and a manual seat back recline. Both front seats in my truck are that way, not just the driver.

Also, the Excursion arrangement I posted is a bit different than a CC Pickup seat arrangement. The Excursion is 3 pieces: 2 independent Captains Chairs, and the center is just a Console. So seating for 2. The Crew Cab Pickup seats are also 3 pieces, but it is 2 captains chairs, and the center console is a fold-down seat/console combo.... so seating for 3..... In an Ex, I have 3 rows of seating and can legally seat 7 (you can fit 8 or 9, but there are only 7 seat belts). So loosing the 3rd seat in the front isn't a big deal.... but in a CC you now go from 6 to 5 for seating..... just one thing to keep in mind.......

could you fill me in on the swap you did.

Took the frame from the bench seat (floor mounts and slide mechanism) and had Agnem weld up a frame that bolted to it that had tabs that lined up with the "feet" of 2008 Escape leather buckets. I then bolted the new buckets to these tabs. The new fabbed bracket ran straight across the transmission hump almost the same as the old bench just being inches off the carpet. So I essentially had two forward / back controls; the manual lever from the old bench and the new power option on the buckets. Downside is it sat a bit higher than had I just bolted the new buckets to the floor. The factory seat belt could not use the Escape's integrated receiver because it was too narrow for the truck's belt. I never bothered to remove the Escape's receiver from the seat . Center buckle was removed. I got a 08 Super Duty center console that was going to be installed but then the relo and divorce hit...
