Default Replacement door for 2000 Quad Cab

My door's lock mechanism just decided it was done(completely locked up) and I didn't notice it until I had already bent the lock switch in and then up into the door. Correct me if I am wrong: Any 1994-2001 Quad Cab doors will fit, not the single or the club cab versions, right?

And then comes the second part. My area doesn't have too many salvage lots (1 in Evansville: 1hr south and 3 in Indianapols:2.5-3hrs NE) and I've already check Evansville and came up empty. Where's the best place to find door assemblies online for the low-low? I'm a college student and this is my daily.

Any for from 98-01 (2002 if a 2500/3500) quad cab will fit. They didn't offer the quad cab in 94-97 . You can try Facebook marketplace, rockauto sells a whole door, and finally you can try one of them sites that search all junkyards. If none of that works try eBay. You will pay at least $250 I would think unless you find one on Facebook. You can't repair your door?

I didn't spend too much time looking at it the other day(happened Tuesday on my way down) but I'm gonna go look at it later today. Is the latch piece able to be replace on it's own or is it fixed to the door and not swappable?

Door latch is replaceable. Three torx screws, an electrical connector, and a couple linkages. All easily accessible. (with the door panel off..... for the stuff inside the door.)

Why are you replacing the whole door for a $5 lock cylinder? Everything comes out and apart. I did both of mine after a breakin. Used billet handles and new cylinders that I coded for my ignition.

Any decent lock shop can do that for you. Bring them the cylinder, and the key you want it keyed to, and they will hook ya right up.

So I went and looked at the door and the body around the door is split and bent out as well. I don't have anything on hand to try to bend it back into place, so I'm thinking a new door is the way to go. Anyone happen to be near Louisville, KY or Evansville, IN that has one?

Post a picture you still may be able to fix it.

Bad photo, but basically part of the door is bowed out, another part is split and what was connected to it is pushed inward.
