So the consensus is that someone swapped for B8/K8 Parchment (Light Beige) with Ivy Gold appointments front seats at some point in our cars life?

It looks like the same green vinyl as the back seats2016 FORD F150 XLT 3.5 EB SPORT 302a - 2012 KAWASAKI ZX-6R - 2012 LEGEND DELUXE V-NOSE - 2008 KAWASAKI ZZR600 - 2008 FORD FOCUS SE - 2007 KAWASAKI ZX-6R - 2002 ARTIC CAT 500 - 1990 JOHN DEERE 265 - 1966 FORD THUNDERBIRD HARDTOP TOWNComment

According to what's in the Automotive Milepost that color combo doesn't exist in cloth. I'll check the Ford parts book and see what that says.

The Ford parts book shows the same thing. The only thing close to what you have is parchment cloth(beige) w/parchment vinyl (beige). If the vinyl is ivy gold then those seats are certainly an oddity.

I will take a closer picture of the vinyl under the cloth and post up in the morning, but I'm confident it's green not beige, certainly a mystery so far2016 FORD F150 XLT 3.5 EB SPORT 302a - 2012 KAWASAKI ZX-6R - 2012 LEGEND DELUXE V-NOSE - 2008 KAWASAKI ZZR600 - 2008 FORD FOCUS SE - 2007 KAWASAKI ZX-6R - 2002 ARTIC CAT 500 - 1990 JOHN DEERE 265 - 1966 FORD THUNDERBIRD HARDTOP TOWNComment

That's definitely Ivy Gold vinyl. The odd thing is that the cloth material in your seats doesn't look anything like the material in the Automotive Mileposts picture. If you click on it and enlarge it you will see a completely different pattern than what you have. I suspect that your front seats may have been reupholstered for some reason. Your trim code of 58 is Ivy Gold all vinyl.

Quite often original Ford upholstery and carpeting has a part number painted or inked on the backside of the material. Other soft parts may have a Ford ID tag stitched in some place out of sight. Have to remove and inspect - it may have a Ford marking somewhere out of sight.Comment

The flairbird dashes held up very well so there would be no reason to replace it. Most likely it's just sun faded.

Glad to see your back on the road with new tires. My 10 year old radials went bad a few months back and developed huge knots in the tire. Take a look at this broken belt (not quite a bad as your tire problem though)
One other thing......(hope you don't mind the friendly advice)
Go buy a fire extinguisher to carry in the car - you never know when or if you might need it but if you don't have one all you can do is watch it go up in smoke. I was lucky and carried one otherwise it would have been much worse.

We are getting two more tires 2moro so we will be on 4 new ones
The extinguisher is a good idea, but on the other hand it is insured for 8500$ lolLast edited by Cwcb08; June 23, 2017, 09:07 AM.2016 FORD F150 XLT 3.5 EB SPORT 302a - 2012 KAWASAKI ZX-6R - 2012 LEGEND DELUXE V-NOSE - 2008 KAWASAKI ZZR600 - 2008 FORD FOCUS SE - 2007 KAWASAKI ZX-6R - 2002 ARTIC CAT 500 - 1990 JOHN DEERE 265 - 1966 FORD THUNDERBIRD HARDTOP TOWNComment
