Door panel project help needed

I rep,aced my work truck door panels with these standard types so I could get pockets. Problem is, the work truck didn’t have any fancy buttons and stuff, so the switch panel is different and I don’t have one that will fit. Any ideas what I can use to finish off the area?

Did you get the new switch panels with the new door panels?
I would think that the harness should of plugged right in.

Oh wait I see that you have cranks for the glass. So even if
you have the correct switch panels you won't have anything
other then the door locks and the mirror that needs plugged in.
You could do some sanding and then use plastic repair to fill
in the gaps that you don't need and then just use black paint.
You will want a plastic finish that matches the rest of the panel.
That or you won't have the grain.

No switches or panel came with these free skins. Also, my truck don’t have any PDL ormirrors or windows. It’s one of those rare deals like the old days. She’s a basic bitch lol. I would like PDL however. I just need something to fill it. Maybe metal or maybe leather pocket or something weird like that. Or maybe just leave as is. Just kinda ghetto lookin but so would a switch panel of empty holes. Maybe I can fill the panel holes with plugs like in the dash?

Does anyone have a pair of extra switch panels?

Try a bone yard around your area, if it has switches, who cares or you can have fun with it.

Im guessing they all have switches, because if they didn’t then they’d look like my old panel covers which are much smaller.

I was looking at mine today and you could get a set that has the switches
and cover it with black vinyl.



Here are some photos of the finish and the full panel with the switches.
Should not be too much work to add the power heated mirrors and it you
also want to add the power windows that can be done too. Oh and we can;t
forget about the power door locks.

2003 XLT Single cab, I would get creative and cover the holes. Sean has more bells and whistles...
