Replace manual HVAC with auto unit

Is it possible to replace my 04 FX4 manual HVAC with an auto one?? I'm installing power fold mirrors and heated seats and would like the factory switches. It's been asked before, but I've not seen an answer.

I'd venture to say it's possible, but I'd find a "donor" truck so I could pull ALL the parts (I.E. switches, wiring harnesses, connectors, etc) from the donor onto your truck.

The cost to buy everything new would be to much..
I love my auto air.

I've seen an auto HVAC unit on eBay with heated seat buttions for under $100...and I just found a thread last night on F150online that makes it look like it's not too complicated.

Yes, I was thinking that too....unfortunately, any F150's in my area are cannibalized pretty quick...gotta get my name down for first dibs.
