Hey all, I have a v6 2001 regular cab Ram with some messed up body panels. I bought it for a small amount form a local drunk that - literally - enjoys taking nice cars & trucks to the local demo derby just because he has cash to throw away. The front end is a duct tape special for both headlights, which I now have on order along with a front bumper & door mirror. The driver's (left) side door & front fender are beyond repair. I found rust free ones today at a scrap yard from a 96 or 98 model. My question is, will the door & fender from an older ram work on mine? I know there some mechanical eccentricities that only make it compatible with 2000 & 2001 only, but I am unsure if that translates to body panels also. Btw, I have no power windows or locks, will be staying all manual for now. Please help as I am very eager to go to the scrap yard & toss down the $125 for both parts asap!

 

All body panels 94-01 will fit. The 2002 2500 and 3500's will also fit as they carried our same body style.

 

doors are different from reg cab and extended cab to quad cab and front fenders are different if its a 99-01 sport

 

Nope doors are no different. Ive got a 94 single cab door on my 97 ext cab.

 

The difference is with the quad cab doors. IIRC, the back lower corner is different and the latch is located higher or lower (one of the two).

 

The only difference between doors is the Quad Cab.

Regular and Club cabs are interchangeable. Quad front doors are Quad Cab only.

Only other difference should be grille and front bumper on '99-'01 Sports are Sport only.

 

It should be mentioned that dodge considers the extended cab with rear sucide half doors a "Quad cab" (from what I was just told on another thread yesterday)).... The same truck without opening rear doors is an "extended cab" and they sold both at the same time to dump old stock apparently between 98-01...
If you have an older style extended cab than your doors have the rounded lower corner and will fit the regular cab I believe, if its got the sharp lower corner its from a "quad cab"...

 

The fenders are different the 99-01 fenders have provision for mounting the quad headlamp of the sport model 94-98 do not and just as I said reg cab and extended(club cab) have same doors quad cab is different

 

If mine is not a sport package, would the fenders work from a 96 or 98??

 

Yes they will.
