2004 F150 STX - complete transformation
hello all! i am a first time poster here so bear with me.....i have a 2004 STX 5.4L Triton that i plan on doing a lot of work on. my hope is to have a fun little "rodded" out truck to cruise around in but i have a few questions concerning some of the mods i want to do. any help would be great!
a little info about my plans - i have the 2004 STX that is plane jane no power windows or locks, automatic with the 5.4L. interior is grey with rubber matting instead of carpet. i also have a 2006 FX4 in my possesion that was "totalled" out as a backup parts truck if needed.
i have no power windows or locks...is it possible to pull the doors off of the FX4 with power everything and put it on mine?
same with the instument panel - i know you can do the swap, how difficult is it?
same with the console shift -
is there a good place to find oem parts? i have looked but havent really found a site that is organized enough to find anything i need.
does anybody know a good supercharger for the 5.4? i am a noob when it comes to forced induction.
i have plenty more questions but i am currently just trying to get a detailed list together of my wants, needs, and pricing.
this is a big project WAY out of my comfort zone but i figured "why not?" i am bored with my truck but i really enjoy not having payments on a new one! i have a very extensive background rebuilding cars; albiet late '60's, early 70's muscle cars. i have a fully restored '69 chevelle SS and a '70 mustang fastback with a 390 engine swap. i know my way around a car pretty well but know NOTHING on fuel injected vehicles or any of the electronics. i have watched this site for several months now and everyone seems very helpful so i was hoping i could get in on it too. any info or suggestions would be great, thanks!

its sad that i have had this arguement more than once. i have a 2004 F150 STX with a 5.4L STOCK! i apologize if you cannot believe that, but yes it was an option and yes, its what i am working with right now.
