Back window is easy any glass shop should be able to get it.

The tailgate will have to be custom made.

Should be quite easy to modify the original.
Maybe just weld on some supports even with the upper and lower portion then flat steel. For the handle you could probably just keep it original, cut a whole in the new piece and weld more steel to keep it as a recessed handle

100% smooth none from factory. But without the DODGE letters 93-down (like Sauxon avatar, above) 94-up has no letters and a built in 3rd brake light on it but still with the indention. See pic below.

I like the DODGE and would love the brake light if I could one day.

Here is the first pic I grabbed from Google. The Dodge is a sticker.


If you want 100% smooth No handle No letters No 3rd light cutout or an indentation aftermarket is your choice. Here is one place. Most people who like this style like a Roll Pan bumper to make it all flush. I personally don't like ether look.

I found a solid rear window at the wreckers the other day. I was gonna snap a picture for you but i did not have my phone on me. I believe it was a 2wd standard regular cab. Probably around an '89

Yeah, there were 3 rear windows, solid, single slider and double slider. I swapped my double slider for a single because 2 separate sliding windows are a pain in the *** and the whole window looks like crap the way it sticks out of the cab compared to the single slider.
