Default Rare Ram?

Hey guys. I have a 2nd gen Dakota but I was looking around on craigslist a little bit and came across this: http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/ctd/2250200972.html
I have never seen a 2nd gen Ram quite like this, and was just wondering whether it was rare or not and if you have ever seen one like it. I guess it looks pretty interesting at least.

I've seen a few pics of full rear door rams before ( I remember a blue one I saved pictures of before), but never heard of them being production. Still looks sweet

Edit:

Went to the dealers website. It is listed as a 2door (like it should have been for the year). Although it definately has the cuts to make it look like an independent rear door. Hell if your close, swing in and snap some pics. Haha, that would be a bad trick if it really is a fake handle lol.

Its a custom 4 door. They made them from regular cab Rams and Suburban parts. Pretty sweet truck to take on a long trip. If only it was a stick.

Yeah it needs some tint, badly. But I would take it how it is. The sad thing is it's really near me haha. I have always loved the 2nd gen Rams but I heard bad things about the trannys and dashboards (after reading the forum now I know that there are ways around both), and of course at the time couldn't afford the gas for it. I almost wanna go up there to just test drive it, Lol.

When I lived in TX there was someone making those trucks down there. It is a custom job.

Yeah, this would be one of those ones that you gotta park way out in the parking lot by itself lol. I can't even park right up front in the Dakota because it sticks out. Well and I like to back in and the people around here are impatient d*cks, haha. But thats awesome, did they put cummins in these at all? I mean other than a swap by the owner.
