Question OEM upfitter switches in older SD - F-Series & SuperDuty Diesel Forums

Deerjager · 08-28-2011, 06:37 PM

I was wondering if anybody on here had installed the newer model updfitter switch panel in the older Super Dutys? I have an '01 and like the look of the switches in the newer models. I rarely use the cubby hole provided in my stock dash for anything and would love to be able to put a bank of switches in there and use the space. Photos, comments, suggestions, how-to etc are welcome.

Look at the Technical Articles WIKI for the Outfitters switch installation, here: TikiWiki : Upfitter Switch Kit . There are all sorts of great articles in this WIKI. Look them over to see what all is there.

From what I can tell by comparing my 2005 to my borther-in-law's 2003 you'd need to change out the lower dash panels in order to physically fit the switches in and have them look factory. As far as wiring I have no idea. On the 2005 and later it's direct plug in. No idea about earlier than 2005 trucks.
