Easiest way might be to contact http://www.lkqcorp.com/en-us/ I believe they have more locations than anyone in the US including some locations in the Huston area. Frames / cabs / parts are easy with them as your friend has a container in Houston and they won't have to deal with Customs. Best bet is a salvage loss from an interior & engine compartment fire / flood / stripped theft for a frame. For cabs I like to see a lot of detailed pictures of the vehicle complete before it's dismantled and a full damage description. Sometimes I've even been lucky enough to get a copy of the adjusters / direct repair shops completed estimate that totaled it.

thanks all!!
someone can let me know about compatibility for 4th generation chassis and cab?
some one told me i can use all chassis and cab from 2009 to 2017 with same configuration of mine (1500 Crew Cab 4wd 5.7 Hemi) is it correct?

Honestly I believe there might be many different frame part #'s and all have variances as far as a specific application. Maybe you can go to a FCA parts sellers web site and enter your VIN # to narrow it down. A brand new OEM RAM 1500 frame usually has a list price of between $2 and $3K and it's possible a Houston area dealer would discount somewhat. As far as a cab goes the salvage suppliers have a computer program called "Hollander Interchange" and it's pretty accurate (not 100%) as far as what year parts will fit different year vehicles.
