Hey Jan, look

Yes those are rebuilt, primed and assembled hinges. They are nice and tight.

Here is an upper.

Looks good, opens and closes with spring tension, just like it should.

NOW, how do you get the upper back into the cab? I've got hinge in the open position.

Then I tried to get it in the cab, and this is where it stops.

I got the spring side in, and this is where it hits and won't go any further. ANY ideas on what to do other than open up the hole?

In the mean time, since I have the 48 cab and doors sitting there, I test fit one of the new window channel guides in the drivers door.

Looks like it fits just fine. I tried it in the door with the Bear Claw latch and it still hits on the latch which causes the top to be out about .4" at this spot at the top. I'm not sure I can get the window channel in the guide and then get the window in without binding the window or the latch.

Still looking for anyone who has put the Bear Claws latch in a single window door.
