I don't know why Henry designed these hinges like this... I hear the the 53 truck was the last vehicle he worked on (for the Jubilie)
Maybe the hinges made him retire from the design part...

Make sure you're using the correct bolts. They don't have to be torqued to no end either just snug, then a wire was used from bolt head to bolt head so they did'nt loosen up, I had a hell of a time with mine too, but they work good now.
