That's actually easy to sew. It would look repaired, but as long as there's no material missing. If there is, then it would look puckered.

I didn't think about sewing it back. Bad part is the foam or cushion itself, degraded. A seperate piece stuffed in & sewed-up would look obvious and compromise the repair and appearance. What's the trick to this, short of rebuilding the entire lower with a complete cushion? Not possible, right?

I've never personally destroyed a seat in this manner. The p/o was a short, chunky butt lil' thang. Some people JDGAF

I always cut some foam to fit, and stick it in there. In my experience, I've noticed 2 different types of foam, the soft pliable type and the more firmer type. If I remember correctly our rides use the more firmer foam. Always cut to fit to get as good as a fit possible. The only thing really special is the type or style of stitching to use on the tear. I don't really know how to explain how to do it, I'm just used to doing it. It's not like regular stitching, you go from inside the damage out. I learned it at the school.

The Magnaflow Muffler came in today most likely won't have it installed till the end of next week since the tip hasn't shown up yet

Completely possible. Foam AND leather rebuild.

I don't have leather.. and it looks like some of the cloth is gone from the seat.

This is a 15-yr old truck. The list of repairs is so long I would never get around to rebuilding a seat cushion.

I installed my differential girdle. Or should I say I had my neighbor finish installing it after nearly destroying my fractured shoulder attempting it yesterday. Actually I just dislocated it but it felt like I nearly destroyed it. RTV needs trimming but that will have to wait. BTW, if anyone wants to install a girdle but are having issues with clearance due to the panhard bar, the QA1 panhard curves out far enough to install pretty much any of the girdles out there.
