| Hi fellas:
I noticed on my 58 suburban with rear panel doors that there are 
several "plates" along the vertical panel door jamb and upper jambs 
which appear to have no function.  I speculate that these plates cover 
the mounting areas for the optional drop/lift gate assembly had the 
owner ordered the suburban with drop gates instead of panel doors.  
Does anyone know if a drop/lift gate assembly will bolt right in with 
the appropriate accompanying hardware?  
Also, was 59 drop/lift gate assembly identical to the 58 assemblies?? I 
think they were.  Does anyone know of a complete decent condition 
58 or 59 drop/lift gate assembly???   I want to swap out my panel 
doors as this is more of a family truck than a work truck.
Thanks.
