Cloth or Leather? Gray or tan? Does it look like
THIS? If you want to replace what's there, just type what you're looking for into ebay or Amazon and you should find brand new replacements (even leather). You'll almost for sure need a new seat foam cushion as well. I would recommend fixing what you have vs trying to find a 'used' one. The repair is fiarly easy, cheaper than a brake job, and will transform the truck to look like brand new when you're done. If you want 3rd gen seats, read my other post further down. Good luck. Post a pic if you buy the truck. Also visit the
"Interior Section" of the 4th Gen forums.

Replacement: I replaced the seat cover bottom on my truck this spring. They wear out on the edge b/c there's part off the frame there and the foam gets pinched when people slide in/out 10,000 times. It took the truck from
"Dude ...That looks kind of dumpy, inside." to
"....Holy crap, this truck is like brand new!". It's a worthwhile replacement and like I say, pretty inexpensive.
Yours probably need a new foam cushion too as they wear. I personally went with a factory NOS factory correct (Mopar) cover & foam. But that's going to cost close to $400. The aftermarket is a LOT cheaper and the way to go for most owners. Sometimes you see the Mopar ones pop up on ebay. The new Mopar foam is dimensionally correct, soft in the center, but hard on the outside edges (both good & bad). But for economy purposes, the aftermarket foam should work fine too. If you had considered changing the interior color/fabric/style after you buy it, (say you wanted to go to leather), now would be the time ...if you buy that truck.
But the path of least resistance is to replace what's there now.
Steps: Once you remove the seat from the truck (4-bolts), you remove the plastic trim on the seat & unbolt the seat back (2 bolts). The lower seat cover & foam cushion is held on with plastic clips (part of the new seat cover) and hog rings. The existing hog rings you don't need to remove if you're replacing with a new cushion. You can buy a cheap hog ring pliers (and the small hog rings) at Tractor Supply for about $12 or so, or
AMAZON HERE, as you'll need them to install the new cushion. It's easy and marked where they go. Don't let anyone talk you into zip ties are easier -- they're not. Installation & assembly of the seat is the reverse of removal.
Conclusion: The switch-over job is pretty straight-forward ...it's not exceptionally difficult, but it does take some time. If you're mechanically inclined, have patience, and can manage the weight of getting the seat out of your vehicle, you should be able to can handle it. If you're not, you'd probably want to pay someone a half a day's labor, to do it. There are several videos on y/t how to do it.
In this video I share with you how I removed and replaced my driver seat cushion in my ram 3500 2012 6.7 Cummins truck. It was a simple job to do and normall...
