08 Door Panel Installation (Pics)

Roger I'll get those diagrams for you.
It's possible but it hits the removable side panels and the main plastic frame of the dash so it would be a pain to modify. It's a big hit if you open your window and stitch your head in while it closes you will see the it pretty clearly. People have put bolts in the metal frame of the dash that hold the plastic frame in but it doesn't look that's good IMO, it's all I what you want to modify though because mine were going to be painted I didn't want them to touch but if they were not getting painted I would have left them.

do you know the wire colors of your master switch? I am trying to find my Cd to run my diagram program however i can take a picture and list the pin out so you can repin yours off of mine. The passenger side is plug and play FYI as well as the rear doors in your Excursion. It's only 2 or three wires that need to be changed on the drivers side master switch.

Did either of you guys get this job completed? I would really like to see some pictures if you have the time. I am working on my 01 that had an interior fire from the overhead computer. Put an original dash in and hate it, I would really like to update the entire interior. So any help would be much appreciated. My truck is an extended cab only, your posts are very helpful, it's cool to see people doing the sorts of things I have been wanting to do the whole time I have been rebuilding my truck. Off subject do either of you know what year bed will fit on my truck? I have a utility bed and want to go back to a standard bed, I would love a short bed but I have the long bed frame and am sure I will be stuck with that, but if I could put a newer bed that looks much better in my opinion that would be much better at least. Thanks to anyone for help.

I finished my entire interior out of an 08 style, the doors were the easiest part lol, go to my dash swap thread in my sig and if you want more pictures let me know! It's very rewarding let me tell you and the only part i have yet to finish is the wiring for the fuse panel but i plan on doing that in the coming weeks.
As for the bed any style form 99-16 will fit your truck, the new 2017 super duty was redesigned from front to back so that's where it stops now.

I ended up staying with the manual doors which saved me about 600.00 which I’m putting on this spring when I do my build but I put the 2015 panels on my old doors as they are way cooler and they barley even touch.I had to lower the inside door handle about 2 inches but for now with the old dash, I don’t think they look to bad.

I still have not done that, did you just notch the center opening more or drill a whole ne hole for it? I know the two mounting screw holes need to be drilled.
Also a note for everyone, the door panels seem to vary from truck to truck and touch on some barely on others and some rub really bad, there is no telling what exactly it will be like until you try it.

Window Switches
I've been reading and prepping for my 08 door panel swap on my 04 f250 and getting everyting together to complete it next week and read where i just have to re-pin the window plug and that is it but the plugs on my 04 and 08 are completely night and day, do i have a different style window switch???? Dosent look like the new ones can handle the current needed to control windows with that large wire on the old one
04 on left
08+ on right that came with doors, passanger door has same style inline 8 pin plug

looks like at some point they went to a low amperage wiring must be to a window control modal kinda like the new style headlight switch using all 18 gauge wiring instead of the heave 12 ga
looks like ill be hunting ebay or dealer for the correct switches, from what i under stand passanger side is plug and play and drivers side just has to be repined?
