Body Panel Swap
I am near-on certain this question has been posted somewhere on this site, but after about three cumulative hours of search, I can up empty-handed, and went from lurker to member for it.
I ended up finding a patch of black ice on the highway at 60 miles an hour. Long and the short, I got immensely lucky, and managed to T-bone myself against a sign, which stopped me from rolling.
My F-150 survived with only cosmetic damage and a blown driver window. So, I had to tear off the bed, and I'm building a flatbed for it.
The only other part I need is a driver door. It pinched the steel, blew the tube frame of the door in, and destroyed my mirror mount. Cab frame , miraculously, was fine.
It's also near impossible to find a door. Here in Cheyenne, one of our junkyards has exactly ONE of the 04-08 gen F150's at this time, and the driver door was already removed.
From what I've heard, I can't use Expy/Supercrew doors on my single cab because the latches are different. But does anyone know? Normally I'd just give it a shot myself, but this is a $300-$500 mistake I can't afford to make right now, and selling the door back off, with the plague going around, would be difficult. Thank you guys for your help.
TL;DR:
Wrecked my truck, can't find a driver door. I have a single cab. Would I also be able to use 2004-2008 Crew Cab and Expedition front driver doors?

The regular cab front doors are the exact same as the super crew front doors for the 04-08 trucks. Super cab front doors are longer.
You should be able to easily find a door. Check eBay too.
