As is typical, my driver's side seat foam has broken down, and the cover needs to be replaced. I've found replacement foam, but am having a difficult time finding vinyl OEM replacement seat bottoms. I prefer both left and right (to keep them looking the same. My truck has work truck interior, very basic, manual windows, rubber floor mats, and so the seat covers are slightly different than those with SLT trim. If I have to use SLT bottoms, I will as long as they're the same charcoal grey. Anyone have a good source???

I have fronts and I think back seat.

I looked at Geno's, but all he has is fabric. I was also told by a member that I could swap the seat covers, but my driver's cover is FUBAR, and I don't want to put that on the passenger side. I highly considered going to the local junk yards to find a passenger cover (they're usually in pretty decent shape) to use on the driver's side, but in the end decided on the ebay route. I couldn't find the pattern that's on my truck, but did find vinyl covers of the same color as well as "upgraded" foam for the driver's side. It's all on the way. Thanks for all of the help and suggestions!
EDIT: So next is to do the work. Are most hog ring pliers created equal, or should I spend a few extra bucks on a good pair? This job will likely be the only time I'll use them. And then there's the rings: Any suggestions on them, or will whatever I find be good enough?

Finished product. Even though I couldn't find my exact patter, color or material, it's probably the best $250 (both seat covers and driver's side foam) I've spent on my truck.
