Yes, it has barn doors, Our other 91 suburban also has barn doors... I like the barn doors better than the tailgate style. just has a more retro vibe, and for our uses, a lot easier to allow ease of access to the rear when camping/ mineral exploring.
We also just restored and painted out 91 with a few modifications. We removed the ugly (in my opinion) 91-2004 mirrors in favor of the retro late 70's rear view mirrors. We also put a retro roof rack from a 70's chevy van (had to make it 6" narrower that the van version as the sub roof is narrower.) The paint two tone we made the side white stripe taller than usually painted, and the white paint has a pebbled reflective texture under the clearcoat (the top clearcoat was sanded and polished smooth). The micro pebble reflective powder makes it look like a snowfield in reflection... cool effect. We painted it ourselves at our house , sucked having to sand off all the gnats in the clearcoat after it dried, but at least it allowed us to do a sanded and buffed clear coat topping.

No, but if I copy/paste the image link directly I can see it. Can do that with both links, same shot with train passing in the background. Must be some glitch between the google link and the board software.

Thanks! The high altitude was a challenge to keep the paint from flashing off too quickly (we are at 7000 feet altitude). Also, we got rid of the chrome look on the front grille and the wheels by painting it with the HotRod brand Smoke color paint, which we also painted the other military looking sub with.

How it looks today in another thread here. Just filled several hole on this side, have 1 (of 3) to go on the roof. Had the typical 80s upper GM rustover sanded off, etched and primed.
It's great to see two of the same in the driveway. One Classic, fixed up vehicle is a historical display, two or more is a Vintage car show!
Here's my 2000 Yukon XL K1500. Still lots to be done. Right now it's got a 3" lift, Bilstein 5100's on all four corners, custom rack, ebay special lights, Bearcat 880 CB, spare tire mount from a Mitsubishi Montero, and running boards and lower valence removed. Next is 33" tires, then a house battery and isolated house power, lighting for the rear and sides, skid guards, brush guard, limb risers, yada yada yada.
