Dumb question two?

Will wiring harness for electric mirrors work off of a Dodge Truck on my Ford Tough Truck? Seems that there are more dead Dodge Trucks in the pound than Ford's!!

yes, you could make those types of things work, but it may take more "engineering" than it is worth. You are dealing with switches and servos that are DC.

Looks like all I would need is the switch and wiring to the mirrors!

Easier said then done ther Tommy. Its not gonna be a direct swap over but if you needed a harness you could just make one yourself, repair the one you got, or transfer a slodge harness over. Irregardless, it isnt just a simple slap it to power,ground it and call it good. Like Bk said there's servos and switches and relays in line with those mirrors. Good luck

I've already have the power mirrors, but the truck isn't hard wired.
So as I am looking at it, looks like I would just need the control switch and mount it anywhere, and then just three wires to each mirror pigtail.
