Got a picture? I'd GUESS and say around $2000, as long as the hinges aren't involved, and your glass is still good. Might be a little more too if the window mechanism is damaged. Hard to tell without a look see.

I had the passenger side bed panel replaced, cost around $1600. Neighbor hit me in my own driveway, right between the rear wheel well and bumper, had the truck for about 2 weeks.

AAA replaced the entire side of bed, bodyshop did a good job. Was down for about a week. Turn it into your insurance, just make sure you pick a competent body shop with some kind of warranty on the paint. And make sure you get a Mopar Parts.

I've got a body shop and just guessing at the amount of damage on cab corner it should run you about 1500 plus tax. The door shell lists 495, side molding 42, nameplate 30, book pays 4 hours for door 3.8 for paint and I figured 6 hours repair on cab corner 2 hours paint and 3 hours for blend/cc. Our labor rate here is 36 an hour and it sounds like a pretty simple job so check around. Hate to say it but there's a ton of shops that will bend you over backwards and I'd stay away from shops referred by the insurance companies, most of em do the worst work. good luck.

To attach a pic you need to have it hosted on the web somewhere.

Your photo album here is a great place to host it
(even includes the UBB code to put the pic into a post, once you get it into the albums)

Clickon "Members Photos" up above on the main site logo, then you'll see an "upload photos".
Click on that, follow the instructions, the software will put it into your album for you.

on my 04 1500, i had to get the drivers door AND passenger door replaced when i hit a well pipe. It was 4900 for everything, including labor and paint on both doors

i would guess 1500-2000 for a new door
