Default Quick question about Suburban barn doors...

I'm looking at 01-03 'Burbs, for a new tow rig and puppy-truck.

I understand that all the earlier generations had exposed hinges on the barn doors that allowed them to open a full 180*. The GMT800, on the other hand, has hidden hinges.

Do they still open as far? Or do the newer hinges limit the swing?

Thanks much!
Robert

They will open further than 90*, but not quite 180*... maybe about 1/2 way in between.

Thanks! And yep, you're right.

Went up to a stranger (with a burb) in a parking lot this morning and asked him. About 135* or so...

Sorta, um, spread eagle!
