1952 f6 door hinge
I was installing a mirror on the driver side. I was able to remove the upper door hinge pin and bracket. Install the new mirror but when driving in the new pin it stopped about 3/4 of the way in. The door was aligned and the new pin was greased. Long story short the pin broke trying to remove it, a drill broke trying to drill out the pin. So does anyone know where to get the hinge that mounts to the truck? Or any ideas how to save this?

The cab side hinge bracket is not reproduced but will be the same on f1-f6 trucks. Sounds like the pin is mushroomed in the hole and I would try to save your hinge by carefully drilling it out with a new drill bit. I forget which one it is either cobalt or titanium will drill it out if hardened steel. I have done it and not much fun. Not sure what size bit broke off but I am guessing a small one. Maybe stick a punch down in there and see if you can break off more of the broken bit then go larger or come in the other side. Tough job either way.
