Classic Industries has them for $6.99/set vs. $9.95 at LMC. You can also get 15% off through the 14th with the code I just posted in the promo code thread. Not sure how shipping compares. I've had good luck with all parts I've gotten from them. Customer service is also good. Part #C57E.

I would do your best to find a set with brass bushings... As opposed to nylon if you can.

I've bought dozens of sets of them from Classic Parts up in Missouri. They include the brass bushings. Seems like they're about 5 bucks per set.

Wanted to add, I have bought dozens because I restored a bunch of hinges over the years for customers, not because they failed and needed replacing again.

Even the ones on the "help" boards at the local parts stores have the brass in them I had never seen nor heard of the ones with nylon bushing, that is plain obsurd. I have changed hundreds of sets for the 88-98 C and K trucks They had a little bigger bushing on one side of the hinge but on the other hand the door was twice as heavy. I changed them because I am know for working on that style of truck and at the time the Chevy dealer would also send his trucks to me for pins and bushing replacement. Jim

.....Absurd it is. The ones I took out of this truck were nylon. Replaced somewhere along the way, and worn completely through.
