Removing door hinges... is there a backing plate behind it?
 

I have the lower hinge almost off, but it feels like whatever the bolts on the cab side thread into is loose.

Is there a plate back here behind the A-pillar similar to the backer on the striker plate?

If I pull these bolts loose, is that going to fall into the door and get lost?

I haven't pulled the fender, I'm just using my gearwrenches to get to these bolts.

It should be OK. It should be "caged" in there. It seems loose for adjustment purposes.

Thanks bigtime for the quick response!

Wow, I give up on punching the pin out of this. I'm going to buy new hinges.
