Currently a gray interior, the seats & carpet have a truly vile odor that I need to get rid of.
The easy answer is likely full interior replacement (though I will consider stripping the cloth upholstery, laundering it, and seeing how much stench is in the foams.)
This is going to be a general purpose work truck & tow pig, so I'm also looking at options for carpet replacement and rubber flooring or bedliner type coating. That would definitely address any odor remaining in the carpet.
Body is rust free. Frame has been replaced. Interior smells like a litterbox.
You bought it from Justin?
In reply to Greg Smith :
It's bad when your son knows where you got the truck from your description of it "smells like a litterbox".
In reply to Stampie :
He worked for Justin for over 18 months. This is not typical, but seems to be the right vehicle at the right time for a reasonable price.

tempted to buy it, remove & ?bag? the seats in contractor bags and see if the stench is isolated to just one.
Or disassemble, wash the upholstery and let the foams sit in the sun for days / weeks.
But the "easy" button is replace with interior from a wrecked one and do a bedliner or rubber mat floor. If I pull the trigger on this, it's going to be a general purpose vehicle that looks decent, but I won't cry over if it gets a dent and the interior will get dirty. For that, the easy button is really too much money.
It's already been "detailed" once and that didn't get the smell out. I'm thinking disassembly and removing everything porous *should* do the trick.
A call to Newcomer's is worth checking, but I suspect the prices are going to be similar.
I mentioned to ozone generator above so I wouldn't forget. Katherine's grandparents used one after the house fire and it did a great job as killing the smell. I'm not totally sure how it works, but apparently you can't be inside while it's running.
Www.car-part.com will search junkyards for you.

My only advise is that you head south for clean sheet metal but you head north for clean interiors.
In salty, rusty places, the bodies wear out before the interiors wear out
