Replacement door hinge???
Hi guys i was wondering if anyone knew where to get door hinges. I think mine are bent and i cant get my door to shut. I have done a lot of rebuilding on it to get the new hinge area patch in. The door fits in place but when i close the door the latch pulls it up then when i open it the door drops a little. I put in new pins and it still drops a bit. I have the striker as far down as it goes but that doesnt work. If i lift the door a little when i shut it, it closes fine. Thats where i think the hinges are bent. Any info on where to get hinges or fix the ones i have that would be great. Thanks Justin

Park the vehicle on hard level ground (not dirt or gravel). Get a 5' 2x4...put one end on the ground, the other about 3/4's of the way back on the door sill. Close the door till it comes in contact with the 2x4...then gently push the door up slightly on the wood. Repeat till door closes properly...then tighten the hinges. Do not loosen the hinges beforehand.

FTE sponsor Green Sales has Ford NOS (new, old stock) hinges: the R/L lower, and the right upper in stock.
