Since upfitters are all the rage, I'm debating what to do. I need to add 2 switches right now (air and high idle) and want to have the room to add more. So I have 3 options as I see it.

1. find some random places to put switches somewhere in the cab (would look bad in my opinion)
2. take a plaster mold of the cubby hole, then build a box to house 4 switches in there (lots of work, but it would look decent)
3. buy an upfitter box and just wire it since we don't have the plug and play for the wiring.

Does the upfitter package fit in our cubby hole ? I'm not worried about the wiring, I can do that myself. Does anyone have a photo of what the back of it looks like ???

 

I am thinking of cutting out the plastic where the ESOF switch would be (man T case), and make a stainless plate w 4 switches that look kinda similar to the window/pdl switches

 

yeah my ESOF is in place .. that's not an option for me ..

 

About a month ago some one on here replace the lower part of the dash with a late model and did the upfitters in the pocket.

 

If you only need two I saw someone put them between the mirror switch and the window switches on the door panel, maybe that would work.
Upfitter switches in the cubby would be mint. I'm almost sure it's been done.

 

yeah right now i only need two, but would rather (while I'm doing this) plan ahead and go ahead and be set up for 4 .

 

I found it ......... Finally https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...light=upfitter

He has pics in his gallery

 

looks like it ran him about $200 for the lower panel, cup holder and trash hook .. then the upfitters that close to $300.00 for that .. i'm sure there's another way

 

i was thinking about cutting out a piece of stainless steel to fit over the cubby hole in my early 99 then mounting the switches in it..you could velcro the stainless to the dash or drill 2 hiles in the very back of cubby and put in some straps to screw the stainless plate to..that way no holes are visable on the dash if you ever remove it....just a thought...

 

what would be wrong with puting them in the fuze panel cover with quick connects. Then you can have all the room in the world for more and it wouldn't be an eyesore.
