Hi, has anyone chopped a rear door down and fitted it to a pickup? I have a rear door and tub with hinges made for the rear door so I am wondering if it's possible as the price of a new swing-open tailgate is not so ideal. would be not permanent until I decide to keep it a pick or not Cheers Arch

That should help.

Not done it but can see no reason why the glass section of the rear door can not be removed. It is also possible to convert the usual drop down tail gate to side opening.

cheers, I'd get this if it was going to be permanent. But after doing a chassis and bulky money is tight.

Yeah, the one I have has been converted but the old farmer has put horrible gate hinges and bugered the tailgate. I reckon it could be double I have one I got for free as the top is bent so would work. It already has the striker on the tub.
