60-63 door wedges

The door wedges on my 63 are badly worn. Any one know of a supplier for them. All the used one I find have the same problem appears door pin bushings wear out and it takes the brunt. Seems they would be a common wear part but no one shows them in the catalogs I've seen - thanks

Re: 60-63 door wedges

no one that ive seen makes them, you will have to find some decent ones at a junkyard

I just rebuilt some for a '46 GMC. Welded the grooves and ground on 'em to bring them back to life. Worked pretty durn good too.
