I can find stuff on rebuilding or replacing hinge pins, but not on repairing the area where the hinge attaches to the cab. Any help appreciated.

It has to do with repair and upgrading Task Force trucks. If someone else doesn't know, I can check tonight at home. I don't remember if Tom Brownell's(sp?) book has a section on that, again I can check that for you & let you know. Also, I believe if you do a search in this forum, you might find a link to someone has has done that and published photos. I am fairly certain some members of this site have done that. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 66 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 66 | I had to repair the area on the cab that the hinge mounts to on my '66 as the face of it was rusted and the backing plate had fallen out. I just did some cutting, welding, and drilling to fabricate my own replacement piece and put it in place. Do you have access to a welder etc? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 406 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 406 | Are you looking for the door hinge repair panel as shown in our catalog? http://www.mar-k.com/various_restoration_items.pdf This patch panel is made to replace the lower door hinge panel. It does not include the pocket area behind the face panel. Installation requires cutting and welding, but as patch panels go, it is not too dificult and it fits correctly. Instructions are not on-line but are included with the parts. Mar-Ktech | | |
