Can anyone point me in a direction where I could source either an original 3rd brake light for a reasonable price (or the part #) or an aftermarket universal type that can be adapted and fits the cab? Not keen on coughing up well over $100 for the ones on eBay. I got my truck with it already gone because it had a canopy and I am not using the canopy.

Lol, thought I had one, but it was a cargo lamp...

However multiples are listed on https://car-part.com/
under Third brake light.

Edit, sorry, thought I had one taken from pic n pull runs...

They didn’t have a third break light. They were built before the mandate

Third brake light became mandatory in the US market for light trucks and vans as of the 1994 model year, so '94 Ram 50 and '94-96 Mighty Max pickups would have had one.

Mine is a 94’. I’m going to eventually call on the ones on car-part, but would the cargo light also fit in lieu of the 3rd brake? I know I’d have to mod the wiring but I think I’d rather have a cargo light if it screws into the factory holes.

This is a post I put up a few months ago.
