I am rebuilding a 2019 2500 crew cab. Need the rear frame to section in and can't find one. Will a 2018 work? I cannot get an answer from anyone. I was hoping someone on here has taken both years down far enough to know. Thanks.

The 2019 RAM HD has an all new frame...it will not work with a 2018.

However, how much of it are you sectioning in?

Aft of the rear axle it shouldn't be too different that it could possibly be made to work.

Need to section in the entire rear rail section which begins behind the drivers door. So you are saying a no go on the 2018 frame.

I would say no. The 2019 has an all new frame.

The only thing the same as the 2018 is the cab shell and the bed sides.

Gonna have to get a 2019 frame.
