Door

I'm trying to get a new door for my 1997 ford f350 and its gut less but I don't know if it will work with mine. Mines a manual window and locks so I don't know. Thanks

Any F-series/bronco door will work from 80-97

BUT if you want an exact match you will want a late 95-97 door. that will have the extra body line at the bottom of the door. Doesnt mater power or manual, the guts are interchangeable

I don't think mine has a lower line on mine it's just a standard door

If yours is a 97 then it had it from the factory

Unfortunately, I don't remember the supplier that the body shop used, but when I needed to replace the passenger door on my '95, I looked at pricing between the 87-94 door, and the 95-97. The later models were almost 3 times the price for a CAPA certified door, so I went with the older style door since the lower body line isn't very easy to see (never noticed it before trying to figure out what the difference in doors was). Somehow, I ended up with the lower body line on the door I received. I don't know if it was just a mistake in picking out that specific door at the distribution center, or if they stock the incorrect door entirely, but you might get lucky.

There is no difference, Any door from any 1980-1996 fulsize truck or bronco will bolt right on.

There is a tiny minute line at the bottom of the 96-97 doors and only hard core ford truck people will notice if its missing
