Default Door Swap

Hi! Was curious how big an undertaking a complete door swap would be? I've done some old mustangs and chevy's in the past but never a newer car.
The current 1999 F-150 power door's seam has split and they won't pass me on an inspection. My feet are getting cold anyway so I'm not too aggravated about it.

I have a line on a complete door, just like mine (imagine the luck) for $200.
I did a search and found some suggestions on how to swap the innards of the door, but is it pretty straightforward to just unbolt and swap?

Yeah, its a pretty easy job. Unclip and pull the wiring harness into the body as much as you can. Have a buddy help if you can. Aligning the new door may take some time though.

Figured it should be at least, thanks.
Regarding the wiring harness, is there a connector from the body to the door somewhere or will I need to splice the wires?
