Re: How do you convert the Suburban tailgate to cargo doors.

Having gone full circle on this - the answer is dont. You would need / need to do the following

a. The doors
b. Cut into rear to expose hinge plates
c. Cut through interior (2 levels) to get to back of hinge plates
d. Weld or attach nuts to bolts (since the screw holes are there for barn doors but the older and ones that come with barn door have nuts welded on the back of the hinge plates.
e. Remove bottom rear ledge (unscrew and cut left and right welds)
f. Spread frame or opening in rear to insert new ledge from LMC Truck.
g. Weld in new ledge.
h. Buy all new hardware for latches for doors from LMC.

Hope that it all magically lines up correctly. In the end, I got the doors reading it was 100% swapable but alas it is not and you could do it a 100 horrible ways and it would be a huge PIA so I put the tailgate back on.
