I am pretty certain that only one hinge on each side has springs but they have two springs, one upper and one lower on each of those two hinges.

The 51-52 chev top hinge has the springs and two per hinge if thats what he is talking about. I am NOT sure about the GMC but I do believe they are the same....
I think they are called "door checks"...??

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
