Factory leather seats?
Just got my 2005 F-350 on Saturday (posted a pic in the new member thread) and it came with leather seats. I know they aren't original to the truck because the back seat it just the regular cloth and the original window sticker is in the glove box and it says 40/20/40 cloth bench. I hadn't seen any other leather seats like this while looking around at other trucks. So what I am wondering is if Ford actually made leather seats like this and they were swapped from another truck, or if the previous owner took the original cloth seats to an upholstery shop and had them done this way.

Yeah, I definitely love the way they look, especially with the truck being red. The other thing that I thought was odd is that they aren't power seats. All the other SDs I've seen with leather seats were also power, but these ones are manual.

I'm guessing that they started life as cloth seats. 
Never seen a leather superduty seat that wasn't power, and "Lariat" scripted.
