You are looking for all the hard to find parts.
You can do with out the glass frames and just cut the glass slightly larger. The winder mechanisms are tough to come by. I believe that the font door winders from a truck with the vent window hav the same winder frame if I am correct. You might check Measure the distances between the mounting holes to tell. You will have to cut and weld the arms to size to fit the carryall. I actually took parts from several winders to get all mine working. Mostly rust clean up and replacing or rebuiding the shaft and spring mechanism that the handle mounts to (It is the same parts with some minor variances for all winders). Widen you search to other Dodge trucks and figure that you will have to modify them to fit.
The lower tailgate can be found but again may take some time. You may have to do a lot of rebuilding. Paul put "bran Doors" on his carryall. I wish I had done it to mine. It is a long reach over it to get anything out of the truck.e
