Get a home Ionizer, and let it run inside the truck for a day or so.
(While parked of course, unless you have a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal long extension cord.)
I have a timeshare and last year the previous user apparently smoked a couple of cartons worth the week before I got there.
The housekeepers plugged an ionizer in the unit, We headed for the store, and about three hours later, I couldn't smell the cigs at all.

Seems it either fades over time or you get used to it.
I think the ionizer is a good idea, plus a good vacuum and shampoo will do wonders. Take it a good detailer and have them go over it. They maky steam clean or dry clean the interior which will make a huge difference.

I use a Hoover steamer on mine. It has attachments to use in auto's, furniture, and what not. The cleaners you buy for it usually smell pretty good and seems to remove all the smell from the truck. I'm a light afternoon smoker, and my boss smokes like a freight train. When he visited me out at some job sites this winter he would get in there with the windows UP and smoke while he was on the phone, just becuase it was cold out I guess. The truck completely smelled like ***, the steamer actually removed all the smell. The ol lady and I bought it for the house, (i don't smoke in our house) but I end up using it more in our vehicles. I got it at Wal-Mart a few years back for 160.00 or so. Detail shops use "extractors" which are pretty pricey if you go to buy one, my Hoover seems to work just as well.
