Also those little cup holders in the arm rest, are the perfect size to get a can stuck in, use the cubby in the dash for storage.
I appreciate the heads up info Brandon.

Scott, I can't thank you enough. You're the MAN! I've been thinking about putting a few coats of herculiner on the floor, but I may save that for a last resort.

another vote for the wet okole's..... I have had a set in the F350 since I got it new.... figured I'd be better tearing them up than the original upholstery... which was a light gray. I have a new set on order for it.. those are pretty ratty after 130k miles of being a machine shop truck.
I also put a set on the excursion when I got it... I like the feel and the ease of cleaning, plus its harder to fry your a$$ on those than leather when its hot out.

no I don't and this week won't be a good one to take any unfortunately... busy week at work, they do look just like they do in the cabela's catalog, fit very well, hard to tell from factory at a glance. They clean easily with windex...and take a beating.

Good Job Will. Don't do like I did. I quit for 10 months, then I bummed a dip off a buddy while we were fishing. Now I dip twice as much as I used to, a little over a can a day.

His name is Thomas. He's the guy that bought the '02 that we replaced the turbo o-rings and the the ebpv actuator. I think his user name is Thoznor.
