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.
Worth a gamble to find out, unless somebody else might disprove or approve my suspicion.
The hinge pins and bushings are pretty generic.
In my experience, yes. Even truck ones are the same. The only difference i've seen is pin length (and then i just cut 'em down!). Pin and bushing diameters appear same. The bulk of my experience is with fuselage cars, 68-70 b bodies and 81-93 trucks.

That is who I suggested and apparently he won't do C-body hinges.... (see poat #8) That makes zero sense to me... The hinges aren't that different.
Are the dimensions different? (obviously). He probably has jigs already made to drill the old hinges out for new bushings. Post #6 but I see it now.
I really don't know the difference and I don't know how he's repairing the hinges.
