I changed all the pins on mine, bought Dorman pins at Canadian Tire that were just slightly larger than the originals and drilled the hinges. They turned out better the the new hinges I bought for my panel and much cheaper. I think I still have a pin kit out in the shop I can check tomorrow and post the part number for you.

What year truck? I replaced my pins on my 52. Not a fun project, but worth it. They are very hard to get out! With the new pins my doors fit perfect (with a little adjustment) and no slop in the hinges.

I just did mine. I posted all the pics on Scotty's 52 F3 The Beginning with Pics thread.
I don't know how to insert a link. I guess I can add the pics and info here if anyone wants me to.

Can I get the link to page 6 or will it just link to page one of my thread? The hinge stuff is on page 6 and 7.

C&G Early Ford Parts Old Ford Parts at C&G Ford Parts. Tens of thousands in reproduction. also carries these pins. The hardest part of the job is driving out the old pins, once that's done it's a snap to redrill the holes and insert the new pins.
