Does anyone know if they made Barn doors without windows?
I was thinking of welding my windows in . but thought maybe if they made them that way I could get another set instead of ruining the ones I have .
Incase I didnt like it that way.

no they did not make them without windows. You would have to make them

I looked at Your pics.Looks like You should be able to do it.

No different than filling in that side window.Did You use a repop panel behind the rear wheel?If so how did it fit?On the way to a friends place over the weekend,I saw a mid 70's suburban that had the big side windows filled in.You couldn't see were it was done.I plan on taking my cam with me next time to get pics.The guy that owns it said he bought it used,and thought it was factory.I have never seen a factory half panel,half suburban.

Yes the rear lower corner was for GMC Paul. a repro. It fit pretty well. Was about a half inch to long. But didnt take much to make it look right. The window I filled was one of the two that the PO Cut into the side . I have never been so happy to smash out a window . I havent seen very many panels and never a 1/2 and 1/2 Burb
Was it cool looking?

Was it cool looking?I am not sure.In a way it was.Other than the windows filled in,it was stock.And the windows were filled in to look like a panel.It followed the body lines,not just a piece put over the window cut out.If it was lowered with some wheels,it might be real cool.

I`ve always thought a Blazer with no windows and lowered would be sweet. But a paneled up burb ? I never thought of that .
