I need to replace the hinge pins in my 45 GMC 1/2 ton. While doing so, i would like to replace them with a kit that uses bushings. also, I need to install the mirror bracket into the assembly. If I install everything now, will there be enough room to paint it properly? If I paint first then assembly, I am concerned that I will damage the paint during the installation. Any suggestions where to buy the longer style pins, and bushing kit?

Installation suggestions appreciated as well.

They were probably assembled before they were painted at the factory.
