I’m a 17-year old in SE Texas. I have a 1985 C-10 Suburban that I am working on to use for my lawn business. It’s a former Galveston County maintenance vehicle and it’s “solid-ish” but my Sad and I are working to fix the rust. It’s a 350/700r4 with a Weiand intake and Holley carb. The barn doors don’t have any hardware behind the latch/lock so I’m looking to see what I need to buy to get those operational again. Thanks for having me!

Welcome from Ohio. Good to have young blood interested in old trucks!
I hope to have a fleet of square bodies for my business. My first truck was a 98 C1500 that I rebuilt the engine for. My Dad and I built it in his living room because it was 104 outside!

Welcome. I own a lawn business too. Let's see that Sub!
The tan is how I bought it. Crappy bedliner over the original paint. My Dad and I are working on stripping it and smoothing out the body.

Welcome from DFW! If you make it up this way very often, I've seen a suburban parts truck recently on FB Marketplace with damaged barn doors for something cheap, $25 maybe. That should have all of your hardware needed?
