If I understand correctly you're looking for "chromed" door hinge bolts ? They are available in stainless. The hinges are spot welded to the door post. I don't know of any after market replacement hinges for the 48-50 door hinges, but I believe Hagar has hinges that you could install, by cutting and welding.

The hinges themselves don't get chipped up at all from useage, in my experience. If your pins are OK I would count your blessings and start sanding! It's a can of worms once you start messing with them.

There is a pin puller tool. I seen it in a parts catalogue from George Moirs in Stony Plain, Alberta. I am planning on ordering one so as no to have to realign the doors as they are sitting perfect right now.

I have the tool , got it from George; used it: applied heat, soaked in penetrating oil. Pins in removal tool still bent. Other thing you have to watch for is when torquing on the removal tool, you protect the door.
Drilling out IMHO will cause you problems; pins are quite hard, getting the drill exactly centered throught the hinge may be diificult, causing possible damage to hinge.

Too bad there isn't some way of cooling the pin while hearing the hinge at the same time....the pins would slide right out. Maybe I'll just leave mine be.

52 Door Hinge Removal
After spending a week-and-a-half on this I finally cracked the code on stuck door hinge removal. (I think) Yes, you need to drill a small hole in the bottom of the hinge pin. It helps if you use a hardened center-punch to 'mark' the center of the pin where you will want to drill. Start with a good small drill bit (Dewalt's Titanium) and drill a small pilot hole no more than a 1/4" deep. Follow that hole with a drill bit nearly the size of the hinge pin. This hole too should not exceed 1/4" depth. Now comes the fun part...break out your air hammer (or borrow one from a friend) and using a bit that will fit in the hole you just drilled...work the pin up and out. (Remember, the pin holds the door on so have a friend hold the door for you.) I forgot to mention that you should coat the hinge and pin with lots of penetrant a couple of times about a week before you attempt to remove it. (Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster etc...) Good Luck and tell me if this works for you.

I thought I had seen in a post on here somewhere that someone used an air chisel with a pointed tip to start the pin moving. Applying heat to the hinge swivels will aid in pin movement.
