Upfitters Switches (adding second set)

Couple of questions....

1. I have a 2006 F-350 gas engine that I installed the upfitter switches into after its purchase. I paid for them so I get them back before the vehicle gets turned back into my work fleet office. This vehicle is used for work and besides the 4 upfitters, I installed 4 additional switches for other accessories. I am getting a new 2011 F-350 diesel that will have the four factory upfitters switches factory installed. Since I am getting back the '06 switches, has anyone added two sets of four upfitters switches to their truck.

Why would I want to do this? I think it would look much cleaner to have the 8 matching upfitter switches in my interior instead of it looking from a drawer at radio shack.

I realize that the base relay part of the '06 second set has no where to plug into but could I provide a power cable off the battery to the base of the lay part to give it power. The accessories I would put on the second set are low amp draw items.

Looking at the schematic for the upfitter switches, I don't see why not but I'm sure I'm missing something here.

2. Anyone have the little coin box laying around from an '06 dash that was there before they installed their after factory switches. My fleet will require me to replace the dash to original if I pull the upfitter switches and I hate to go buy one to do so. Just curious.

I do have one. I'm heading out of town right now, so I can't deal with this until next week. But send me a PM and we will work something out.

How do you plan to cleanly mount them?

For the cost, time, and trouble, why not mount some nice carling's in the dash?
