It almost seems worth it to take the truck to a pro and just pay through the nose to get the whole interior refurbished completely so that it looks new again. Let them worry about all the color matching issues. Just trying to get a feel for how it all actually pans out in the real world when you do it yourself.
Well I did mine myself, I think it turned out just fine. I changed my interior from Maroon to Charcoa/Grey. It takes time, I got samples from everyplace for everything. And then I picked from that. I reused all my original parts. I had to go with aftermarket seatbelts because I couldn't find OEM Charcoal belts. I have some now, but i might just keep the new aftermarket ones. There was no way I was going to let someone else do the interior. That was the fun part, to see it change and to know I was the one that did it.
