Default Power to Manual Windows

So I'm sure not many people talk about doing this but I have had problems with my power windows for a few years and I really want to switch to manual windows but can I still have power locks with that? I have a super crew 2004 F-150 FX4. I figure I might have to switch doors but is that even a thing?

What kind of problems ... got to be easier and cheaper to fix what you have.. going from power to manual is going to be expensive... and IMO stupid

Were there any non-powered windows on any 11th gen trucks? If not, your options are Saran-wrap and tape.

He can use the inner door panels from a regular cab as they have the same size door as the super crew in the front.

For the rear doors, no idea since super crew trucks never had a manual window option. Only reg cab and super cab.

That's also what I would do. But if he's deadset on manual, at least the front would be possible. Worth it? Probably not.
