Just wanted to do a quick write up on this fix. If your door hinges are shot and the door sags 2 inches when you pull the handle SELL YOUR TRUCK AND BUY A NEW ONE.
Boy this sht sucked! I didn’t have anyone to hand me beer much less hold the door. The bolt for each hinge that comes from inside the cab was the easiest part. Lining the doors up afterwards on a truck that’s completely crooked, well that sucked too. When I unbolted the upper hinge from the door the nut plate fell loose inside the door. Tack welds were broken. That made it even more fun. So fair warning, if you are working alone you gonna need both hands a knee cap, some rope and you gotta use your teeth.
Door shuts so easy and quiet now I bet it’s half way through this set of hinges already from me testing it out lol. I don’t know why I continue to bust my knuckles on this raggedy old Dodge, but I still like it for some reason.
