I thought I tried this and I don't thing the 92-97 door panels will fit the 87-91 dash. I remember the 87-91 dash being wider thus the 92-97 door panels will hit the dash. I agree though the 92-97 panels are much nicer looking.

If you get this to work let us know.

Now that you mention it. I'll have to take a pic of mine later on. IIRC the window comes to a point next to tha dash, and there is just two pins it swivels on..

Do ya need a pic of how it meets the dash?

from the drivers seat, ill only want to operate the rear 4 CC windows together.
or run the window switch to switch from the rear to the middle.

i dont want a **** load of switches, tryin to come up with a way to do it as clean as i can.

i was gonna put the rear 4 window switches in a center console but ive decided against it.

i want the OBS 95-97 door panels, you can get them for fairly cheap, well cheaper and more accessible than brick nose interior.

plus i think they look sharp! i still gotta go "shopping" .

since my passenger front door is kinda jacked, and i wanna do as little body work as i can, i may replace both with OBS doors,
instead of messing with the wing windows.
those wing windows are a pita.

its getting close to me being ready to paint this thing.

i just want to have everything done before i do so.

and im still fighting myself to do a custom grille and headlight set up.

You can expand your search to 92-97. I know of no differences to interior door panels on OBS trucks.
Btw, IMO, the OBS is the best looking truck Ford ever made. I love the mid - late 70s models as a close second.

gotta use the 95-97.
i have 4 rear windows to incorporate. lol i want the 4 way window switch.

guess this is more of a powerstroke question, but you guys will forgive me....
right?

from 95-97, are all crew cabs F350?
when did they start making crew cabs in the F250 form?
