I was playing around with the idea of buying a newer parts truck that cannot be used on the road ever again, and swapping the interior and exterior over to my truck. I was wondering if the gauge clusters would transfer over accordingly, the gauge cluster on my 2003 power stroke does not have all the high-end bells and whistle’s that the newer trucks have, like TPS faults. What about the seats and Also, if I decided to swap the whole doors over, would they plug in. I know this seems like a waste of time or pipe dream, but I’m just looking for some insight in case I decide to blow my money on something stupid like this.

For the gauge cluster, I believe the analog looking gauges can be made to work but all the fancy techy features won't unless you piggyback the newer computer systems into your truck.

99-16 seats I believe are a direct bolt

99-16 doors I believe are the same but the electrical items in them (mirrors, mirror controls, windows, etc) probably won't be plug in play. Are your doors beat up if not I would just swap the interior panel?

The wiring for the seats may be there just left under the carpet. I've messed with the dash in an 02 and the wiring was there for features not present on the truck.

If it isn't there I believe the controls on the side of the seat are the switches for everything (heat, forward, back, etc).

Do you have the digital controls or knobs?

The digital controls might be able to be upgraded with a little work but I know switching from knobs to the digital unit takes quite a bit of work.

I'm new here so forgive me if I screw this up. I have an 06 f350 that needs a cab swap, its too far gone. I'm looking at an 2010 Lariat cab that's loaded (sunroof,power pedals,etc). I have read a gazillion articles on the gauge cluster swaps.....any idea if I can integrate my 06 cluster into the 2010 dash ? I'm thinking I may have to use the older harness......thanks in advance and please steer me in the correct direction if I'm lost here !

Has anyone put the new manual controls in for the a/c? I bought a 2015 dash and know that the auto controls won’t work so I purchased a 2008 manual ac control with the heated mirrors option and not sure how it can be wired in... would like to use the 2008 knobs instead of having to buy another ac switch...

I also heard of a guy in here in old forums that will make a newer 2015 cluster work on my 2001 anyone know who he is or where to find him?
