Larry,
It is easier to switch from tail gate to barn than the other way around. All the slots for either setup are there from the factory for the hinges except for the lower sill. Your main difference is in the lower sill. Barn doors will work fine with a tailgate sill, you just have to fill in the holes where the gate hinges went thru. The barn door lower sill does not have the recess and slots for the tailgate hinges. your catches that bolt to the body that keep the gate and hatch closed are the same as the ones for the barn doors, just relocate them to the upper and lower sills as needed.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
