Door hinge spring or retainer

Hi Guys: on a 64 F100 what keeps the doors open when you want to work inside the cab. It seems to me we have lost something like a flat spring. Thanks in advance. Joe

Good Question! the hinges are different from my 63 to my 65.... not sure about the 64

the 65 has a spring and a flat bar with notches that holds the door open and the hinge on the 63 does not have anything like it.

C4TZ8123528A .. Coil Spring-Upper Door Hinge Check / Obsolete

Fits: 1964/66 F100/1100.

ANTIQUE AUTO SUPPLY in Arlington TX has ONE = 817-275-2381.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has TWO = 800-543-4959 / 513-731-3304.

JST AUTOMOTIVE in Lebanon TN has NINE = 615-443-3086.

The flat bar w/notches on it that Bill W mentioned was only available with the hinge, so there is no part number specifically for it.

Door spring

Thanks very much for your info. Thought there had to be something in the door such as a spring of some sort. Joe
