Bottom Dash Swap?
I know it's been discussed in great length about putting Up-Fitter switches in '03 & '04 SD...but all of the ones I've read the original dash was used.

But has anyone tried to swap the lower dash portion of a '05 to '07 into a '03 or '04? Thinking out loud here, but would there be any difference in the trucks as far as lower dashes go? If they have, happen to have the part numbers?

Here's the link to when I did mine. I also did the high idle mod, but you'd just need the upfitter install:

Post #10 has the pictures.
BTW, I've actually got a lower dash panel like the pic from riggz's truck with the door in it. Have the cupholder too. It's got 2 small holes drilled in it towards the bottom where a cb or something was mounted to it. I don't have the new trash hook though. Let me know if you'd be interested in them.

Don't give up man. I swapped them in my '02. Should be the same fuse box as yours so wiring is pretty easy. I had to do some trimming on the main dash behind the panel. Also, had to trim a little on the top of the 05 panel due to the clips holes being in a little different location.

Keep in mind if you add the brake controller you will have to upgrade your brake master cylinder. Also I'm not sure how well the brake controller will sit in behind a 04 dash as there is a slot on the 05+ that it slides into. That slot isn't there on the pre-05s so It may not support it very well.
