Dodge 2500 Tailgate Width for Contractor Shell

[chris_the_wrench]

I'm looking for a contractor style canopy for my 2006 dodge 2500. I would like one w/ the dual rear(barn?) doors opposed to a flip-up hatch/tailgate. The problem I'm running into is all of the shells Im finding(craigslist, etc) are too wide where the doors extend down to where the tailgate(was). Do dodges from my generation have especially narrower tailgate openings? Mine measures about 64" at the bottom and 63 1/4" at the top.

Are there any other brands/generations with similar widths as to help aid me in narrowing down my search?

Thanks
Chris

Have you checked out Caravan campers in NV.? That would be my only choice. I owned an aluminum ARE style with the two barn doors in the back and side doors on the side. I am on my way to the scrap yard now to get rid of it at 15 cents a pound. They fall apart. Caravan campers will mount it for you, and ensure proper fit.
