Burban barn door retrofit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, new to the board, but got that 'burbanitis thing.

I've got 3...

An 84 1500 4X2 Silverado that is headed for the great pasture of truck parts

An 89 1500 4X4 that is waiting for the motor from the 84

and finally, a 91 1500 4X2 that is my daily driver.

Here's my question, anyone ever retrofit a set of barn doors on a tailgate 'burb?

The 91's rear sill is rotted and I HATE tailgates. The 84 has one and was always a PITA with the window or for unloading stuff from the back. I can get a new rear sill from the local body parts shop, but I would love to retrofit a set of barn doors onto the '91. What all, besides the sill and doors, would I need for such a swap? If anyone's ever done this, your advice would be appreciated.
