Hey Guys -

I am in the middle of this conversion myself. I have an 87 Burb with tailgate and I acquired the barn doors with hinges.

I ordered latches, bolts for the hinge plates all the parts the parts that "would be" needed. When going to set the doors in I see that there would need to be a slot for the hinges and the bottom sill would need to be changed, I just need some more direction on how to go about this.

Anyone have pics? An overview of some sort of what is needed maybe. I didnt look before I jumped and read posts from 70's burbs and assumed it was a direct bolt on switchover.

Help!
