I found a potential project that sounds like it could be everything I want, except the major hang up is it has barn doors and I really want clamshell. I could possibly get the lift and tail gate with the deal, so I wouldn't have to search for parts, I don't think. If I did, it would be minimal. Fabrication is not a big deal for me and I enjoy it. What I see above looks pretty straight forward, but could really use some more info.

Does anyone sell the lower tail pan that has the provisions in it, or will I need to source one from a donor vehicle?

Thanks! Hope it's okay I bumped this.
I don't think anyone is repoping the sections you need to do the swap. Probably going to have to find a donor vehicle for it. It's basically the same idea, so totally ok to bump this thread back up
