I guess I was pretty lucky with mine. It did come with some really cheesy puffy quilted fabric stuff sewn around the sun visors and glued to the dash pad. They kept my visors in almost perfect condition, but the dash pad had to go. I was pretty surprised when I changed my fuel filter as part of regular maintenance to find THERE WAS NO FILTER!

Be careful of trucks that have spent their life on a farm, a long ways from a town with an auto parts store. Those guys would (and will) slap anything on to get something up and working just well enough. There's a thread on here somewhere, that the guy was complaining about the PO using drywall screws all over his truck to fix stuff. Another guy bought a truck where the entire interior was painted white. We're talking everything. Even rubber stuff, and it was probably brush on paint.
