Default 2008 tahoe seats in 1997 tahoe sport?

A couple years ago I picked up a 1997 Tahoe from texas and the seats are beat. I picked up a set of front seats from a 2008 tahoe and want to install them. I also figured I can put a 3rd row at as my back seats from 08 as well. I can get the set for the back I just haven't picked them up yet. Has anyone worked a set of these 08 seats into a 97 Tahoe? If so any help or advice would be much appreciated

3rd row seats are way smaller than normal 2nd row seats. They also don't have regular mounts but have quick release mounts.
Your gonna have to make things work as '97 and '08 are 2 different trucks.

Yes I realize that. I can cut ,weld and drill to fab up brackets and such. That doesnt bother me any. I was just wondering if anyone has done it and if I can get some tips and tricks to make my life a little easier that would be awsome. In the end I usually have to just start from scratch and learn as I go. I was just figuring people have had to do this in the past so getting some constructive advice would make things go a little smoother.

I'm pretty sure no trucks rear seats will fit in the back of the sport because of the short wheel base puts the rear wheel wells too far forward. But if it can be done that would be real nice because I can get the matching rear seats to the front ones I just picked up for very cheap and they are in excellent shape.
