The other issue is trying to maintain the third row seat, which is needed for this vehicle, but I could make that work by leaving the floor and scabbing on the sides and roof.

In short, if I could find a suitable donor I would go that approach but haven't located one yet.
Something like a JEEP,bumper-mount,swing-away spare tire carrier might work as an attachment for a swing-away boat-tail that would allow access to back of the Suburban.I'm doing it on the pickup,and it will be the first time I'll actually maintain relatively easy access to the bed.
