Febreeze is supposed to be good at removing odors. I like the baking 
soda idea, too.
Generally, I just try to cover it up...I'd buy some essential oils, like 
rose oil or lemon oil and sprinkle it around inside the cab.  I'd put it 
on the dashboard, the seats, the headliner, etc. Park the truck in the 
sun and let the heat work the oil.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public 
debt  should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered 
and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed 
lest Rome become bankrupt.  People must again learn to work, instead of 
living on public assistance."

--Cicero, 55 BC
