why not
I don't see why they would not fit. I did just the opposite from what you are wanting to do. I bought a set of front buckets from a wrecked truck (1999) . I pulled my original seats out of my 2005 and took my time installing them. It took me about a month but they fit. You will more than likely have to do some mods as the 2001 seat tracks on the bottom are totally different. I had alot of metal to cut off the bottom of the '99 seats. There isn't much on the bottom of these newer seats as you will have to fab up some plates to make them work. I wish you good luck!!
