Barn Door to Slider
Howdy-
Any chance that I can swap my barn doors for a slider? Chevy dealerships won't offer any advice. My thought was that if the doors are the same size, that I should be able to add the necessary hardware and replace my barn doors with a slider. I have access to a body shop for all the difficulties/complications involved. I guess the underlying question is if these vans are made with two different door "rough openings" off the line. Any information thank you!!! I like this new van and its ability to be both the work and family truckster, but I really don't like the barn doors, they take up too much room and are in the way.

Have a look at a van with a slider. The whole passenger side is different. Floor step is longer, side wall and its supports are different, and tons of other things. I would say it would be far cheaper to buy a different van.....unless you are a car builder, and have a shop to do the work.

I second canucklehead buy a van with a slider. Take a close look at a van with a slider, the amount of body work required too add a sliding door is substantial.

Copy that, thanks guys. I'll have to live with it as I've already gone a bit too far with customization on this van to realistically sell it. Looking at it now of course it's almost an impossibility. The track down the side, the track on the floor of the step...etc. 2 different beasts.
