Default New Doors

Hey guys, I just bought a 98 Quad Cab 1500 and the only rust on the whole damn truck is the bottom side of my front doors. Theres a small spot on my rear cab-door on the driver side but I think I can live with it. Anyone know a good place to find them for cheap? Or an easy fix? There emerald green. I've looked in the local junkyards a little but the only emerald green dodge i found was missing the two parts i needed most haha. Thanks

You will be extremely lucky to find doors in good condition, in the correct color. You best bet would be to just find doors that will fit, that are in good condition, and then paint them before you put them on.

At that price, I'd just have a body shop fix and re-paint the doors on the truck.
