Side door idea. . . . remove those ones, get a drivers side skin and turn it into a no door.

How about a split side door? Make the bottom fold down and gullwing the top half

It is better to use a side skin on the rear than to actually weld both rear doors together.
A smoother out rear looks great on a late model Ford.

A neat trick for the fords.(because the mount holes for the bard door hinges in in the door pillars ),is a "shorty" Gull wing.
Barn doors on the bottom.Metal slider top half gull winged.

Getting her to stop should not be to big of an issue.Even for a Ford.......

Um ok I am listning here Wookee but I am not understanding on the door thing.I am not sure but didn't you spell your name wrong? rofl The rear doors are welded and they must have used side metal because of the "valley" in there but I did not take of the plywood on the inside to see. I was talking about the side doors. I have a set of side barn doors no windows and was thinking about welding the (on chevy it would be the 40 door) and having the other one swing. What do you think??

Even on a Ford van with a slider the mounting holes for the barn doors are covered with sheet metal but are still there.
The side door hinges are below the body line.The top section of the slider can be gull winged then the bottom of the barn doors can swing open.
Like a "Dutch Door" on an Astro.
Welding one door in place and gull winging the other is also another option.......
