Head rest removal

Don't know about an '04, but on older trucks, there is a small "U" shaped spring clip that snaps into a deeper set of notches in the chromed headrest posts, thus preventing the removal of the headrests. Try making a sleeve from the plastic from a pop bottle. Raise the headrest, wrap the sleeve around the support posts and push it down into the guide. On a '92, it worked by preventing the little clip from engaging in the notches. Hope this helped.

Don't know about Fords, but on my Camaro I had the same problem, it is also held by a notch down the shaft, I pulled up the headrest as far as it goes then slipped a length of banding strap down in front of the shaft and pushed them both down till I felt it click the notch out, then just pull out the headrest and strap together.
