nope. your gonna have to remove both arm pieces and the center section.

the passenger side is similar but larger duct and the driver is larger duct and different location on the vent to the left of the radio

also the newer metal frame has two pieces used to hold the radio in. if you dont have them it works (like mine) but just not screwed into anything. to hold it

you dont HAVE to swap the frame. i didnt and have my radio in it just fine but you do HAVE to swap the AC ducts.

top holes in the last pic are where the metal frame pieces would go to hold the radio screws in other wise its just plastic holding them if you could weld any id take the pieces off the 07 frame and give a quick tack onto your current frame.

and you can see the size difference in the ducks in this pic also

i have a 99 superduty and was wondering could i just put the plastic bezel off of a 05-07 model on my stock dash and it bolt right in or is there any modification for it to work also? i will be getting one with the manual ac controls. any help would be great im planning on doing this asap. not the whole dash just the part around the ac/radio and around the guages
