OK, thanks I will start hunting around for a re-upholsterer(real word hehe).
Guess I can take it out and put it in the bed... Put driver seat back in and

visors and oh shit bars are tan and the rest of the interior is grey but I
guess it helps aleviate the heat in the cab not sure what the reasoning
behind it is...
