59 ford truck hinges
Attention shoppers. If anyone else wants these hinges, send me a P/M or an email.
There are greedy clucks that may buy them all, if I list the sources here.
Dunno who the greedy clucks are, but when I listed some hard to find emblems (6 were available) several moons ago, one greedy cluck bought all of them.
The OP that asked, other members who were interested, were shut out.

You left out one very important detail...what are the Ford part numbers for the NOS hinges you bought?
In 1960, Ford replaced the 1957/59 hinges with 1960 hinges. The '57/63 Ford truck parts catalog sez that 1960 springs must be used with these hinges when installed on 1957/59's.
C0TB-16796-A (replaced B7C-16796-A) .. Right Hinge / C0TB-16797-A (replaced B7C-16797-A) .. Left Hinge
Use with C0TB-16789-B (replaced B7C-16789-A) .. Hood Spring / Updated applications for hinges/springs: 1957/60 F100/1100.
The thing is, most ebay sellers haven't a single clue what the NOS (or used) parts fit that they are selling. Sometimes they list the Ford part number, sometimes not.
At least once a week, someone whines,
moans that the NOS part they bought doesn't fit the same (if at all!) and/or looks different 
Who is to blame? The buyers are, because they failed to research the part numbers, didn't ask for them if not listed....to verify if the parts were correct...before they bought them.
The 1957/63 FORD TRUCK PARTS CATALOG is available on a CD from hipoparts.com for 22 bucks. This is the first thing you should buy after buying the truck!
I'd be willing to bet you don't have it...because if you did, you would have known and I wouldn't have had to type this jazz.

Hey NumberDummy, I just bought a 59 f100 and fully restoring it. I need hood hinges and can't find them anywhere. I've read and reread all of your comments and I'm so confused...Can I just buy a set of '60 f100 hinges and they'll work on my 59 or do I need to use 60 springs on a 59 hinge? If I'm completely wrong on all fronts can I just buy a set of old hinges from you, sir?
Thanks for the help!
