They look like the real thing but you won't know how close to the original until you try to put them on.

Why not have yours rebuilt, for that kind of money.

I am rebuilding the drivers side but when I pulled the pass upper hinge out of the blast cabnet I could see the thick hinge part (not the hinge cage) was cracked 90% of the way through the 1/2 steel and I can't find anyone selling a original pass upper inner hinge. :chevy:

You could post a Wanted ad in the For Sale section, and easily find the hinge you need. Craigslist is a good method, too. The reason why I say this, along with solidaxel, is that the rebuilt kits are cheap. It sounds like you've already got a blast cabinet, so that'll save you a little. The pins and return springs are really cheap, and after you're done, you'll have a set of hinges that'll work like new for very little money. You can put that money you saved and apply it to something else on the truck. I've restored lots of GM cars, and through the years I have found that the original stuff is almost always better than any aftermarket part.

Which hinge is it? If you want, I'll keep a look out for you, and if I find one I'll let you know. I love "treasure hunting"!!!
