I just added new seat covers, and carpet to my truck.
The seat covers are Wet Okole's. Made of neoprene (same stuff as scuba suits). The are custom made to your vehicle's seats, and have extra padding in cetrain areas. At first, i was a little curious about the padding, but after sitting on it, the padding was okay in my book.
The covers are also water proof, and smell proof. They come in all colors (only black border though)

I wanted new carpet becasue of this...
The truck has gone through numerous off-roading trails, and had just been really abused.
I got the carpet from lowes. It is Marine gradee carpet (notice what I said right above this) and it's black. Cost $4.5x per sq. yard. Only cost 20 bucks vs. the 80+ ford would have wanted for the grey stuff.Get extra on all sides for lee way. I used 3M All Purpose Adhesive from Home Depot in the spray can.
Inorder to get the carpet in, I had to tear the old stuff out. Here's how I did it.
1. Take off all door sills.
2. Take out the seats. Bolts are usually lok-tighted on (for obvious reasons) so they're a B#%% to get unscrewed.
3. Take out center console. By now you will have noticed the french fries, money ect... that you sware you never dropped.
4. Check for wires. There is nothing like pulling a factory ground wire up ect...
5. Once that is done rip out the old carpet. Be careful around stuff like gear shifts, gas pedal ect...
6. Clean the mess that is left. You will want a clean floor pan for the new carpet.
7. Find the mid-point of the interior of your car, and the mid point of the carpet. Match the two, and make sure these two points stay together. Start at the console nearest the point (given it's near the center). CAREFULLY cut the holes for the bolts, and bolt the console back on. This gives a point at which the carpet is fixed to the floor.
8.Start working your way out loose fitting the carpet. As you go, cut holes for the screws, and glue the carpet down.
9.Trim the edges oncece you are done.
10. Once you get done, you have new carpet! If you haven't all ready, put all the seats back, and all other interior parts. Be sure to Lok-tight them for safety. No use in seat belts if the rattle loose!
10. Make sure everything is back in, ,and snug. Double tighten everything before the lok-tight cures.
This is how mine ended up.
