F-150 help

Hi I just joined and hopefully I get all the help I need! First off I have a 2001 F-150 4.6 v8 and it's all manual windows and locks I just recently got a 2002 F-150 with a 4.7 v8 also I got this truck for free with a completely broke off chassis and it has all power options, I wanted to switch all the doors from manual to power windows and locks and also my manual doors are very badly rusted and the power doors are in perfect condition and I wanted to know how I would go about that. What would I need to swamp from one truck to the other. If anyone could help me and point me in the right direction it would be apericated! Thanks in advance

The big difference is the donor truck has a lot more electronics to run and control all the power options.
You would in effect have to move everything over to your truck then have the hassle of any issues there might be.
Unless you have a lot of time and feel your up to the task, better rethink it.
It would take gutting both to get all the wire harness out of one and into the other plus the GEM and power distributions etc..
Not something I would even attempt because its not worth all the hassle and time your truck would be down.
Good luck.

You can also part out the 1/2 truck. This way you learn how it comes apart. Save the doors for your working truck and turn them into manual crank and lock. Part the rest on ebay.
