the 67-72 door squeak
I feel fortunate, in that my `69 is the same way. The drivers door sometimes takes a second swing to fully close, but the pass. door closes with just a small amount of pressure applied. It never saw much use, mostly me when I was younger and we were going fishing or hunting!
Regardless, neither of them squeak!

How the heck do you get rid of the squeek? I've lubed the hell out of the hinges to no avail. I was starting to think this was just some inherent design flaw that couldent be fixed
. If anyone has any ideas please help.

Replace the hinge pins and bushings. Get the brass bushings and use a parafin (sp?) based lube on both parts before assembly.
One the hinges are worn out, they have cross-worn holes and lube will only work for a little while. Nothing beats a tight fit on the hinge and brass bushings will not squeek.

I lubed up mine heavely so they could open with ease when I removed the doors for painting. They need to open with ease since the shaved door handle kit requires it.....

Where can I get the pin and bushing set? Motor Haven and one other usual suspect didn't appear to have them...

I too have sprayed quarts of white lithium grease on door hinges, still there. Thinking about having the truck dunked into a big vat of WD-40. (Might as well get them all!) Next will be the pin replacement. Just dropped a warmed up 390 into it, Wheeeee!!!! '72 F-100 4WD

I fixed mine with an old fasioned oil squirt can, with the big nozzle, filled with 10w30. A little applied to the hinge goes a long way. One squirt last year and still no squeak.
