Door hinges
I have a 1950 F1. Has anyone used the reproduction hinges? I ask because I noticed that my top drivers side hinge seems to have some slop and the door is dropping down a bit. My dad and I restored the truck 10 years ago and he passed 4 years ago. Unfortunately I can’t ask him as he was the expert. Anyway, he fabricated a new hinge (no reproductions back then) and I think the hole may be too big. Not sure if that was from removing the pin prior as he took the hole from original hinge and welded to a new plate. I am thinking that I should replace the part that goes on the door jam and was curious if anyone had an opinion on the reproductions and if they could give any pointers. Thanks in advance.

Yes I had to drill out the rivets and replaced with carriage bolts based on info I found in another thread in the forums.
