I"m a newbie and looking to purcahse a superduty..

I found a great deal on a XL base model that i can't pass up.

How hard is it to convert the base model interior to a xlt. Only looking to swap out seats and door mechanisim?

Is it possible? seats frame rails can easy bolt in?

Many thanks in advance

Seats won't be any problem. They all interchange. On the doors, if you mean keyless entry, that is best done with an aftermarket solution, with alarm, auto-start, etc. Keyless entry is not standard on XLT in that year anyway. Carpet is easy enough to do. Automatic headlights will be probably too difficult to attempt. All the electronic stuff is going to give you problems.

 

Thanks bpounds.

Only want to change carpet/seats/pw/pl (i'll just get a alarm, like you suggested)

So looks like i will have problems with power windows.

 

Power windows probably would not be a big deal. Just have to get all the parts from a donor truck. I don't think the PCM is aware of window travel, so it is not really electronic. Just electrical.

The electric door locks may be the same deal. But they just won't auto-lock when you start driving like the factory setup does.

Would make sense to do the P/W and P/L at the same time.

 

thank you, time to hit the junkyards

 

Does the PW still work after you shut the engine off and take the key out? My Ex does, but not sure about the trucks. It still works after some time then the power cuts off. That is then tied to some module?

 

During the accessory delay (10 minutes or until a door is opened) the power windows still work. After that delay, they do not.

 

i have some parts from my 2005 f 250 im parting out

I'm looking for a grey cloth front seat (60/40 with a drop down arm rest) the same as the OP for my 06 XL truck. What years seats will fit my '06 the best? Thanks. bazeven

 

The bolt pattern in the floor didn't change from '99 to at least '10 (not sure about the new '11), so any front seat will interchange. You just have to choose the right options, like Supercab (seatbelt in seat back) or Crewcab(seatbelt in B-pillar), bench or 40/20/40 or captain chairs, armrests or not, etc.

 

bpounds...You seem to be an authority... Do you know of anywhere to find seats for a 2010??? Sorry if I'm Hijacking!!

 

No, I don't know, but I see them on eBay frequently. But of course that is just luck if the right item comes up for sale.

If I needed one ASAP I would hit the dismantler lots. They can usually find anything.

 

I was hoping to find a source that was cheaper than ebay (wishful thinking)! I guess I will have to live with the bench seat for a few years!

Thanks for the help
