Long time member, has new question....

It's been a while since the last time I've been on here, since I sold my 71 Chevy C10 a couple of years ago. But I'm looking at getting an 89 Burb.

Question is, can the rear tailgate be swapped for rear barn doors? Also what are good sources for replacement panels? The one I'm looking at has some rust on the lower sections and around the rear wheels, but it's low miliage and runs good.

thanks,
Sean

In the past 30 years about 90% of Fords are still on the road, the other 10% made it home.

If it can be done,It`s not exactly a swap.
