Hey,

Can anyone tell me where I can get hinge pins/bushings for my 69 G 10?

Thanks,

Mike

On Rockauto is where I found them.
Doorman 38404

You will need two drills. Sizes Letter H and R. (McMaster/Carr)

Might take some heat to get them apart. A BFH helps too.
DONT bend the tangs!! (ends)


Whats your name again?

Guys, I looked up both numbers, and the Dorman is for later Dodges, and the NAPA says it's not for my van; is that why the drilling is needed? I saw a video of a 67 Chevy van using the Dorman number, and they worked, so just checking before I purchase.

Thanks for the quick replies!

Yes, there are no direct-fit replacements. The Dodge hinge pin is just a touch larger and has been the standard for our repairs for decades.

Been there. Smacked my fingers...

A good vise for disassembly helps. Heat and a punch got them to come apart. Keep the kids away as there may be swearing.
Drilling them square and parallel is tricky without a good drill press or mill.
The bushing might need to be "trimmed" a little so the leaf fits in the knuckle. I just sanded it and kept trying the fit.
Dont remove too much material.

The pins will need to be trimmed for length if youre concerned with the stock-ish appearance.
They are about 1/4" too long.

Have fun!

Are we talking about front doors or side/rear doors?
