Door Hinges, Pins or Bushings?

Post by Frog2Spider »

Does anyone know a vender that sells these for a 1981 2000.?
Already tried Vick’s and RC.

Thanks,

Hi Frogspider

I could not find any new hinge bushes or pins. So I found these ones and made them fit they work out perfectly!

Thanks Drummond,
Turned out that the hinge had cracked, and needed to be welded. However, it is strange that the hinges and bushings are not available. Maybe if one of the venders reads this, they could explain why.

I'm late to the party here, and it sounds like you've found a solution, but for future reference, Midwest-Bayless sells both new and used door hinges, although they're out of stock on the new ones.
