Clam shell hinges

Anyone carry new hinges? Do the 67-? Hinges work? I could use all four new hinges.

I looked at the truck shop.com and don't see any hinges for our series of trucks.

Thanks guys.

Really? No one knows anything? I'm surprised.

Re: Clam shell hinges

Ron, they are loose and let the panels sag. The window droops on the right side and rubs the tailgate. Pretty much the same thing with the tailgate it has damaged the outside sheet-metal. Evidently it was operated for years without straps to hold it when it was down.

you can rebush the hinges and new pins will tighten that part up. sometimes the sheet metal where the hinges reside can get get stretched and that can be repaired
Doubt that you'll find a set of NOS hinges so they would have to be rebushed what ever else that you found. just like door hinge pins and bushings
