    Had a big dent in rear door -
    Looked at insurance claim and figured why not try and get a color match door.
    Used “car-parts.com” and found what is was looking for except it was halfway across country. Same truck in multiple listings. Tracked down the yard that actually had it-
    They could not have been nicer and easier to deal with. Picked up on the 2nd ring. Knew exactly what I was looking for. Door was in “perfect” shape. I bought the whole door for $450 and 300 to ship it to Denver. Had to go to a commercial address so the local shop said they would take it since it do a lot work with them.
    The door was packed perfect/ handmade crate.
    The door was an exact color match.
    I get that it’s a gamble buying used but this was a flawless experience. I hope other can use them too

    I had the same experience a dozen years ago.

    I needed a super white rear passenger door for my '08 DC. Found one in Florida. They shipped it and it showed up at my buddies business a week later.

    I don't recall the price but I do remember the dealer wanting $560 for a new one in primer that was only the shell.
