1957/60 F100/1100:
20387-S8 .. Bolt-Hex Head-Door Hinge - 5/16" -24 X 1"
20327-S8 .. Bolt-Hex Head-Door Hinge - 5/16" -24 X 5/8"
34806-S7 .. Lock Washer-Door Hinge - Spring Type - 5/16"
You might try a (long established) Ford dealer, as they generally never throw hardware away. Most of the time, hardware isn't inventoried, and may lay unmolested in a drawer for years.
Junkyard caveat: 1961 and later trucks use 3/8" door hinge bolts.

The unthreaded part is to guide the bolt in on the assembly line, when using a power driver. Some of them also have thread-cutting starter threads. I'd go with quality hardware store bolts (if there is such a thing any more).

Another source, try a local Mack truck dealer. Mack used the 5/16-24 thread bolts with the pilot tip on many things, especially on the R-Model trucks.

thanks
thanks everybody for the replys.I would like to get the type with the pilot tip because they thread into cage nuts and are a lot easer to get started.
