Ford F-250 Super Duty Interior Swap Part 3: Door Panels, Power Window Motors & Exterior Mirrors

[@daveh.354]

I know you said you didn't like making videos of working on the Fords (as you do it all day long already), but I'm really glad you are showing this work. There are a lot of other videos around with people hacking stuff up or not showing pertinent info. It's good to see someone who knows what they're talking about showing those that don't, how to do it right.

[@jdmccorful]

The sign of a "PRO".

[@gregorymacneil2836]

I am glad the engine and transmission are the correct colour because replacing those parts with one hand would be a real challenge! But I am sure you could do it!

[@mrjon1985]

I thought I was good with my hands. The way you dominated those Ford connectors single handedly was impressive. I struggle with two hands.

[@kurtg1961]

Whenever Squatch says it’s pretty easy to do I think to myself I couldn’t do it. That’s why I enjoy watching him do it.

[@rolandmohler2695]

That train whistle is great. We are expecting UP 4014 Big Boy in about 1 week. Now that's the whistle I want to hear.

[@homelessman2257]

It's hard to find good videos on how to do these kinds of jobs, and you know it like the back of your hand and showed it well, thank you!

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Good job. Surprised you didn't take a Swiffer and wipe the door before the door molding was installed.😆😆

[@rinardman]

Yeah, not cleaning the dirt off before he put the panels back made my eye twitch. 😉

[@DarrenLane]

"I am so good I can swap the entire interior of a Ford F250 Super Duty with one hand tied behind my back".........literally. Nice work Squatch and super helpful to know the little tricks of the trade to those pesky little pins and clips and what not. Love the vids.

[@triptisrinivasjanardan3929]

Darren Lane so true. Literally amazing. I'd struggle with both hands to get it done like he did.

[@larrywalker7759]

Yep! Me: "I'll take 2 weeks vacation so I can spend 12 hours a day for 14 days and swap out the interiors." Toby: "I have a few minutes this evening, I think I will swap out some interiors."

[@texascottonfarmer]

Thank you for not using the head/hat cam. I get motion sickness watching those videos.

[@Ihbinder14]

I can guarantee one thing, the vehicles you work on during the day is done right, no corners cut! I will put you in for a raise!!!

[@tundramanq]

About the slow windows. I live in New Mexico with the sand and dust that builds up in the window channels and slows things down and will over stress the motor and mechanism. As soon as I notice a slow window I break out a paint stir stick, a shop towel and my Turtle Wax spray detailer. Roll the windows down. Drape the towel over the end of the stick and squirt the towel at the end of the stick. Run it in the channels , changing and rewetting a new spot on the towel as it get dirty. Repeat until it comes out clean. All done. I use the detailer spray as it has mild detergents plus waxes that leave the rubber slippery.

[@rolanddansereau6947]

Amazing how one handed you make it look so easy. If I tried it with both hands and a buddy helping it would take forever and probably find a way to mess it up. lol Always enjoy watching your videos. Somehow it's relaxing to watch and learn from you. I'm sure you would make an awesome trade school instructor.

[@DieselDahl]

Looking forward to the exterior paint swapping episode!😁

[@andyrecord]

I have broken so may panel fasteners pulling or prying in the wrong place. You experience, skills and tools makes it look easy! Thanks for sharing!

[@aserta]

It's also about walking the fine line between being firm with your actions, but not exert too much brute force. I've seen folk know where the pins are, but frakk it up because they either wimped it, or tried to emulate what they see in videos, and pulled one banana too hard.

[@MyOLD36chevy]

This series was informative and satisfying to watch. Thanks for sharing your work. Now I know what interior of my F-250 looks like.

Some good tips for the Ford Truck folks. It looks good in the red truck.

[@russellreed3650]

You are a great teacher. I learn something every time I look at one of your vids.

[@dansullivan1120]

It’s good to see that your therapy sessions are working and you were able to leave the previous owner’s dust on the doors before putting panels back on. Well done you.

[@patricksommerville463]

Never thought that a car interior change would be entertaining. Squatch I don’t know how you do it.

[@DAKOTANSHELBY]

Camera angle and usage is just fine Toby. Disregard the trolls. I was with Chrysler Corporate in the 2000s under German control. They de-contented features like no tomorrow to save pennies. Similar to your absent door marker lamp. It was de-contented so chief engineers would meet their quotas. Much of that resulted in dealers installing those features, under PDI warranty, because they too thought it was missed during assembly. Unbelievable!

[@stephenzwemer2905]

Love this series on the interior swaps.

[@kylemccann2500]

If you saw the dents and hillbilly fixes on my 03 work truck your eye lid would twitch 😆 thank you for showing me how to do the side view mirror. Love the content man.

[@maxnex7676]

I would have wiped the inside of the doors down with a damp cloth just to remove the dust.

[@DohosanV]

Too bad you can't like a video more than once I'd still be hitting the thumbs up. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ap1687]

Squatch, you know how you got the best series on rebuilding tractors and crawlers on YT... I have no doubt you could easily get the best series on working on Fords as well. Also, I'd still like to hear something about that older blue truck (flatbed?) sitting somewhere on your property.

Boy you make this look so easy because you know what you are doing !, I would be interested in knowing how long it actually took to do.

[@rgrimm3173]

I'm constantly saying to myself while your working....grab the air compressor and blow out the speaker grill, blow out the duct work, air blow inside of panels, wipe down with simple green, vacuum this, scrub that.....okay, my OCD is midly in check😑 ... ready for the next segment!

[@hermanschepers4739]

Don't blow out the speakers w/ compressed air or you could BLOW OUT the speaker cones. No bueno for speakers

[@b.abrackus6403]

Hi Squatch...l was wondering if you have heard from (SALVAGE WORKSHOP) KZbin Channel recently? He hasn't put out any new content or answered any comments on his channel for over 2 months....We are very worried about his wellbeing, as working on heavy equipment like he goes at it..can be dangerous...just concerned and missing his great content...l enjoy your channel as well..miss Senior too

I couldn’t do this as easily if I had 3 hands. Some experience doesn’t hurt, either.

[@mitchp350]

I have watched a number of your old videos and have yet to be able to see what model the Kubota tractor is. I have watched you use it and I am amazed at how versatile it is. Along with the backhoe attachment seems to be large enough, without going overboard. I am in the market for a newer tractor, and I am just so impressed with the work yours does, I may try to find one similar.

[@mitchp350]

@@squatch253 Thanks for the reply. I am looking for something large enough, but not trying to break the bank so to speak. Have looked at the M7060, which is fairly heavy duty, but once you cross the 50-60 hp range you can add $20K easily. Not even sure if what I am doing even warrants over the 60hp.. Have an old 1967 David Brown 990 with what's left of 58hp, but am looking for something with a few less leaks, and a bit newer. From what I have seen you using yours for, I am sure I am not going to do any more with mine, the backhoe attachment seems to be a must have for me as well. Again thanks for your time.

Slow windows for Rick!! Awesome. Lol

[@rogercarrico4975]

All those plastic tabs, break on me. When I try and take those panels off. Even if they don't break. They get distorted. Where they never stay in place again. I guess it the age of the truck, car I'm working on. With the summer heat here in Mississippi. That weakens the plastic.

Excellent, as always. How do you get those snap pins to always come out in one piece? Here, in the UK, I would guess that 25% leave the metal part in the hole and about one in 30 snaps off the plastic tongue instead of seperating.

Toby, what when you had the doors open didn't you spray them with cavity wax? Being an Arizona truck I am assuming there is nothing in them and rust free might want to stay that way so a coating of cavity wax would help.
