Calling all surburban owners!!!

I might have a line on buying a 1958 suburban with clam shell doors. Are the doors interchangable? I've located a set of replacement doors that are of the barn door style. It may be a deal breaker since I'll need to get into the rear fairly often. I've owned a tahoe with a tail gate and I hated reaching over to get anything out of the back. Thanks

I have never done it. Doesn't sound too bad from this:

Re: Calling all surburban owners!!!

I found that article in a search, but it was specific the AD era trucks. Probably not a big deal but just wondering if anyone had actually done it on a TF era truck.

My 46 and 50 burbs have provisions for both. Check the rear jamb and look for the holes and recesed areas for the hinges.
