Wire Harness

OKAY, I am new to the forum, and new to Ford all together.

I have searched and searched, and cannot get the info that my friend and I need.

We are doing a cab swap on a rollover 2005 F250 XLT SD 6.0L Diesel.

The question I have is, what wire harnesses are used for what packages?

Ex. Lariat VS XLT wire harness. What, if any is the difference between the two?

We're looking to swap a Lariat cab onto it, because he wants the options from the Lariat, but if we do what kind of problems could we run into electrically? Will we need a Lariat harness or the XLT harness will work? I basically need to know if the wire harnesses are option/trim/edition specific.

If you buy a cab from the lariat with the dash and its a diesel you should have most everything you need. The gas and diesel harnesses are different for the dash and instrument cluster I believe. The only other way to check would be to check into buying each at an online sites and compare part numbers.
