I have a 45 Burb with rear clam shell doors, not the usual barn door style. I'm looking for the two hinges for the upper half of the clam shell. Bottom hinges I have are OK but they could stand to be replaced also. I'm also looking for any sites dealing in 41-46 Burb parts, etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What years will work? This will bring the thread back to the top and maybe help with your needs.

I'm not exactly sure but I imagine 1941 - 1946 would be the same since most Art Deco series have interganable parts for other sheetmetal areas.

GrantW, are they the same as the AD hinges? Sometimes GM continued similar parts for years. The AD upper gate may be heavier, hence they may be different too. I will try and take a picture of mine. Do you have a picture of what you are looking for? .......g

Sorry, don't have any photos handy. Not sure if AD will work but I'll try to find one and take a look. Go ahead and send a photo if you have one. Thanks.

BTW I'll be gone all weekend so you may not get a reply from me right away today.......

Grant, Here is a photo of the upper hinges from a 53 Suburban. [img]http://image20.webshots.com/21/3/7/16/219830716CoFcCK_ph.jpg[/img]
Maybe this will help narrow down what you need.

Sorry guys, the pictures are being stripped before I can see them. I know where there is a 47 burb. I take a look at it next time I'm in that area of town....

Sorry, the ADs won't work. What's left of the one in my 45 are pretty bad but I'll try to get a digital picture over the holiday weekend and send it out next Monday, providing it isn't raining or snowing all weekend here in Albuquerque, New Mexico

BTW, nice to find an active vintage Burb group active here at STOVEBOLT.

GrantW, were the hinges that I posted from ebay similar? I know they are from the wagon, but you never know what GM part will fit. Thinking along those lines, have you checked the interchange books to see what vehicle may be a donor?
