Default 2001 Ram1500 4 door?

Back again with a crazy idea. I have my Ram that I adore, but I NEED a crew cab. Has anyone ever heard anything about a way of doing this? There used to be a 2500 runnin around here that had 4 full doors AND an extended cab. Obviously custom made, and I was told the rear full door were some kind of aftermarket fiberglass things. Thoughts?

You'd probably have to stretch the frame too. Honestly, be easier just to get a 4dr 3rd Gen.

The trucks I've seen with a crew cab were long wheel base with short beds.

Why do you NEED a crew cab?

I'm in the same exact situation as you man. Got 4 kids and leg room is already an issue. Plus, with my truck being 2wd I'll need to get something 4wd for the winter's in Virginia....

Been thinking about trading up for a 3rd Gen Hemi....
