Default Door Panel Swap

I have an 08 RCSB Sierra SLE. It has power windows and locks already but I was thinking about swapping out panels the will give me the interior handles above the arm rest. I'm not fond the current location of the handle...

Did any RCSB come with these door panels?
If not, what can be done about window switches?
Will the door panels interfere with the ends of the dash?
What years / models will interchange?

Thanks in advance for any input.

This is the style I want ....

Besides making them physicaly fit the door and getting the interior door handle to work.. what can be done about the drivers window switch?

You are going to have to order the swich panel for the new door panel to fill that gap and hope that the plugs are the same...

Not this exact panel, but one like it. I know I need the switch panel as they are different. What can be done about the driver window switch? I have a regular cab and don't need all 4 window switches....

Ohhhh...thats going to be alot harder to from my guess you will be stuck with a 4 door switch in a two door truck. Most of the time the connectors are one big piece that snaps in. If you can get the plug harness of the donor vehicle to de-pin your trucks wiring into the new switch...Dont even think about cutting the switch in half and filling the two wholes. The new switch have integrated circuits that are a nightmare if you dig into them...

Have you thought about modding the escalde swtich panel so that you can use yours..some epoxy and body filler dont know how good you are with that

Some some ideas

good luck
