Door Hinges

[carfreak6970]

So I removed the door hinges on my 70 polara convertible due to the driver door sagging. Well it appears the bottom hinges are fine, but the top on the drivers is visably worn and the passenger side is not far behind. Are there any rebuild kits out there for the top hinges? Or what are my options for repair?

Thank you

plenty of hinge bushing kits out there (LMC, e-Bay, Year One). Not entirely c-body specific. you can add some weld and redrill the hinge if the pin wore through the bushing

Yes, this issue has been alive and well on GM pickup trucks since the middle 1970s. Pins, bushings, etc. ALL replaceable items. There have been hinge rebuild kits for B-bodies for years. Probably will work on C-bodies, too, just that no demand for C-body items like there is for B-body items.

So would B-body parts work for C-body hinges?

Worth a gamble to find out, unless somebody else might disprove or approve my suspicion.

The hinge pins and bushings are pretty generic.
