66 step-side. I have to "lift up" on the door to get it to close smoothly.
I am wondering if the pins on the hinges are worn from years of opening and closing.
Just wondering how I should attack this issue.
Would love to have smooth opening and closing doors!
Thanks for any advise. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | From any one of the vendors that cater to the 60 - 66 trucks, order a set of hinge pins and bushings. They'll fix that sagging door right up. They will be a little tough to get apart but not a problem to reassemble,

Not a big job and the bushings are not expensive. Well worth the money for the improvement. If let go too long, the next thing to go will be the door lock & striker.
