Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I happen to be at the local PNP yard and noticed that late 80's early 90's dodge minivans have the same door latches and strikers as my truck does.
The interior pull handle lever is the only thing different on the latches, I paid $5 for the pair, with pair of door strikers and the were barely used, Minivan doors are light.

Yes, I just put them in, worked great!
I just took two pliers and bent the interior door latch lever to look like the ram, which was to just bend the bends the oppisite way they were bent. ( You got to look at them to understand what that meant. )
My ram latches were horrible, the plastic coating on the latch was gone, and the inside latch plastic was busted and the latch spring was broke also, but now no problems at all.
Those striker bolts can be bought for like $10 in the help packages, but I just pulled mine of a minivan... . "
