I have an 05 STX supercab and am planning on converting to power windows/locks. I've found lots of info on the conversion itself, but no door panel details.
I know the STX armrest is shorter than models w/power. Is the switch assembly area of the armrest a seperate part? Can it be added to the STX door panel?
If so, anyone know where I can get that part # or detailed pics of the door panel?
I'm trying to avoid mounting aftermarket switches. Would appreciate any insight.

 

dude if you find out let me know too.i have a 05 stx supercab and i will not add power without it looking factory.as far as i know you will need new door panels and switch assemblies and housings.therefore i havent converted yet.hopefully i am wrong.good luck

 

I figured more guys must feel the same,far as keepin factory look. been talkin with evryone I can find thats been down this road..heres the deal: You can either convert w/aftermarket switches mounted elsewhere for around $500 complete. Or replace door panels, buy factory switches/bezels/etc. for over a grand total! I wanted to go factory but thats just too costly. Think I'm gonna go aftermarket for now and hopefully aquire the factory pieces over time. I can always change over to factory door panels,etc. later.

 

You could always try going to the local junk yard and try finding a totalled f150 and take the door panels off of it

 

I put the power window kit on my truck with the switch that came with the kit and it dosen't look bad at all, the switchs light up at night when the lites are on just like any other vehich that came with power windows, It's up to you but I like the aftermark look of mine, I also have the power door locks too that work with my alarm system. Its nice to have a truck with power windows already installed but its just as nice to take a basic model truck an make it your own.


wish i had pictures up to show you, i'm work on picture... new to this site
