Tailgate hinges
I bought new tailgate hinges a while back and finally got around to installing them but the round part that fits in the tailgate is too big. I tried them on my new one and my old one with the same result. I called the place where I bought the hinges and they swear its the right ones but they don't fit. Have any of you guys run into this problem? They tried to tell me I have the wrong tailgate but it is just like the one I took off and I am 99 percent sure the old one is original. .Any ideas? Thanks. ...RC.

Could you post a photo(s) of the trunion and your tailgate?

Re: Tailgate hinges
The hole in the tailgate measures one and one quarter inch but the new hinge measures one and one half.

Take it apart and see if the silver trunion fits. Looks like the order of the pieces is wrong.

Re: Tailgate hinges
Where'd you buy them?

Re: Tailgate hinges
The trunion came from Classic Parts. The tailgate came from Summit.

Re: Tailgate hinges
I got the tailgate on. I modified the hinges I had and made them work.

Re: Tailgate hinges
The tailgate appears to be aftermarket and wrong, the hinges are suppose to be 1.5"
