Default will these bodypanels work

Ok so I have a 99 4 door long bed Cummins 3/4 I need new fenders,new hood,grill,bumpers,bed,front doors,I have back.My questions are first the donor truck is 2001 a long bed single cab v6. Now Im guessing that this bed will fit,fenders I've swapped out alot from a gasser to a diesel just gotta set the inners up for everything to sit in there properly,hood will fit.Now the front doors I think are square.I am a semi retired bodyman I'm guessing someone on here has fabd these doors to fit.I guess I need to make a post asking if so.But if you know of any reason any of these will give me an issue let me know.I know a guy willing to sell me the bed,hood,bumpers,grill&fenders for 325 pulled which is a great price.Just want to be certain.Hopefully I can mod these doors.

I think I'd buy just that stuff, its a great price if rust free. Then sell the reg/ext cab doors and buy a pair of front ,rust free, quad cab doors and escape the body metal work effort.

Everything should work EXCEPT the doors. I would be more inclined to try and find the correct set, as opposed to attempting to modify a set to work......

I apologize HeyYou but I tend to disagree without further information.

It's got to be a production date I guess. I have an '01 and the doors are the same.

As a matter of fact I have '01 doors, grill, and front bumper on my '95. (see sig pic)

Now, my 3rd Gen '02 is completely different.

So depending of the production date/model year it may or may not be possible.

The doors are different on the cabs with rear suicide doors. They are squared, rather than rounded. On the pre-98 trucks, before the rear doors were offered, they are all the same. (of course, there aren't any suicide doors....) Standard cab doors would require some pretty serious massaging to work on a truck that has the rear doors.

Quad cab doors are different. Check out the bottom corners of my doors and compare to yours:

Yeah I've already discussed it with another member. I knew that but didn't see it, or over read it, in his initial post.

You just wanted to post a picture of your truck.

The back corner of the rear doors is a good reference to the same corner on a standard cab (front door/only door).

Nice lookin' ride by the way.
