Perfect for us ST model trucks with no power windows. My father has this kit in his Ford and it works pretty well and he had it for the past 2 years. It is pretty durable. For $149.95 shipped you can't go wrong. I just got mine ordered and Im awating comfirmation of product. Its a 2 hour install the switches look pretty decent.

Update, Saturday I bought them and sent a Message to the Seller with my credit card info. I wrote him a message Monday morning to see if he had gotten it. Monday night I had gotten a reply that he said he would be sending it out. Nothing as of yet...

I mainly want power locks, but I want to buy some stock door panels that have the switches in them. That way it has that OEM look. The problem is that, doing so requires me to install power windows too. If you could give us a write up when you do it (and lots of pics), I just might make the switch too.
I haven't had my door panels off yet, and I'm kinda worried that I won't be able to get to the window very easily to make the conversion, and I'm not sure if there are any wires in the door yet, so any tips that you pick up along the way would be great. If you do a write up, could you send me a PM when you do, so I don't miss it?

ok since you want to look OEM then I suggest this kit for you
You can simply cut into your original door panel and add these for a OEM look.

Or you can pay a little more for the deluxe like the first set I posted which is what Im getting with a better window regulator.

Well lets just say this is the longest Ive ever waited for anything on Ebay. It comes tomorrow and I will hopefully get it in this weekend because I cant start now due to fresh tint. I will write a how to and send PMs to those who asked.

Lets just say the instructions arent all the best. Im glad my kit has the same colors or my ass woulda been lost. Ive been trying so hard for the past 3 hours to get as much as I can done. It seems to look like it mounts better in the newer f150s than it does dodges. Im thinking I might have someone install the rest after I run the wires. You have to do completely everything by scratch. Heres what I got done so far lol!!
