2004 to 06/07 Dash Update
I'd like to update my dash in my 2004. I like the design of the 05-07 dash better than the 99-04 and would really like to get the integrated aux switches and brake controller too - if possible.
Right now I have an add-on looking brake controller screwed under the dash. Looks like crap. I'm assuming it's a factory add-on since it plugs into a factory looking harness under the dash. ???
Is it possible? Has anyone done it? Will the gauge cluster swap out or will I have to keep my old gauge cluster? What about the A/C vents and stereo mount?
I was browsing craigslist and saw this truck - F250 Super Duty 99/2006 7.3
Claims to be a 1999 with a 2006 front clip and entire dash. The dash is definitely a 2005-2007 dash panel. Cant really make out the gauge cluster in the pics though. Dont see a brake controller or aux switches at all. Ad claims it has digital A/C controller, but it looks like regular rotary controls to me.
What do you guys think?

It is possible to swap the entire dash, you can do it with all super duty Dashes from 99-13 except the cluster will not swap without extensive modification i believe. However the 99-04 cluster matches the 05-07 style dash and fits without an issue I'm not sure of 08-13 style however. If your looking mainly for the 05 aux switches you could swap out the lower dash panel like i did, i still have to wire up the switches but it looks great IMO. The whole thing costed me $300 and its even cheaper if you don't get the driver side glove box. I had looked into a dash swap before as well and i decided it was too expensive and involved, pulling in out and mounting the new one isn't hard but there is a lot of wire that is involved as all the switches change etc. I decided that one day im just going to Paint my current panels black and carbon fiber hydrodip some accent parts.
