Actually --- I read the article when it was featured in Classic Truck Mag last summer. They are barn doors ( choped in half ) with a lift gate. Similar to the setup of what some mini-vans have.

And those tail lights are post '92 Cadillac.

Oh ok he does have the lower part split. Didnt notice that. Kinda cool.

So will a barn door suburban take a lift gate with out much trouble?

I think something really cool would be a lift gate with a window that goes down into it like in the pre 91 suburbans. Not sure on the years. But the ones with power rear window that went into the gate.

You asked for a pic of these installed on trucks? Again, I'm not sure which year they are. So here, anyway.

I have a sub with lift gate.In the side of the opening there are holes for the barn door hinges.I would think it would take a lot of work to put a window in that could be lowered.Of course with plenty of time anything is possible.
