Superduty door handles

I've been thinking about doing this for a while and was wondering what everyone's thoughts might be on this one. I've always like the superduty door handles more than the 150 handles. So i want to take the super duty handles and have them replaced with the superduty ones. Im no good at body work so i would have to have this done by someone else but thats ok. Is the keypad hookup the same on the superdutys as the 150's? thoughts on how you think they might look? would i need to change the linkage inside? anything else i would need to change either? just looking for thoughts, concerns, and opinions.

sounds like a neat idea but doubt it will that cheap since it hasnt been done before, post some pics along the way, you could also ask in the photoshop section for someone to ps it on your truck to see how it looks.

I've actually seen it once on a 08 limited F150. It looked very nice, and pleasing to the eye. Always something I wanted to do until the guy told me the hassle of doing it. He finished with saying it was a pain the in the ace, and he would never do it again. So I don't know, ha!

i would imagine it as a really clean mod, those handles would clean up the body lines well, then again i wouldn't do it i'd do shaved handles way before i'd think of that

Well stopped by the custom rod shop. They told that they are going to have to get back with me in the next day or two to let them get a parts list and about a general price breakdown. Will keep you informed on what thy say as always.

Its all depending on what they say the cost is for it. And how much the savings are with that.
