How hard is it to convert barn doors to the lift/drop gate on a suburban... does anybody have any pics for this????
 
On my '65 all the mounting holes are there for both just a matter of finding a donor. Yours may be the same, check for threaded holes.
 
It was easy up until around 82. The jambs were 'dual-pattern' to accept either. Afterwards they were truly built one way or the other. :(

It is rumored that that the structure is still there to tie into if you dig into the sheetmetal. However, the captured nut-bar/plate that the hinge bolts woud thread into, is not.

I have yet to try this experiment with my '84.
