Manual Windows on XLT?

I was scrolling through Google images and I came across a picture of a 1994 Ford F-150 XLT with what appears to be original manual windows, I have never seen that before and can’t find another picture of an XLT like this. Does anyone know if this was actually a factory option? I would like to find XLT door panels for mine with the holes for the manual cranks but they simply don’t exist. If anyone has info on these, it would be much appreciated.

I love the manual windows on the vintage trucks. I have many scars from working inside a door on power windows.
Is the Bronco door the same?

They are very very pricey. But maybe a last resort if you can’t find anything, if these are even the right ones

Those are different, they’re off of an XL like the ones I currently have on mine. Also no kidding about the price 😬

Manual windows were available on XLTs with the nicer door panels, at least in 92-97 M/Y.
Not very common though.

I've seen several trucks that were XLT with manual windows but 90% seem to be power.

It is power windows that were optional
They came standard with manual crank windows unless you ordered them, possibly standard on packages like Eddy Bower.
Not positive about that but why do you want manual?
You go to find a manual regulator in 20-40 years, and you will be hosed or SOL
The power regs can be had cheap

My truck was an XL that I made look like an XLT, it currently has manual windows but I wanted XLT door panels to further make it look like a high end model, I didn’t want to go through the struggle of swapping in power windows though.

I wouldn't either
Run what cha brung
The manual windows never? break regulators anyway
Added bonus
The trick is to lube the channels with the Ford stuff once in a while
Part of a 30k service is to lube the window tracks
You use this thick silicone? stuff FordMini vent lube

I put some of this down the channel felts every time I have a panel off, or do it from above when needed.
