One pair of hood hinges in good working condition. I believe these to be reproduction units. They have overspray on them from the bodyshop.

$50 plus the ride from 97231.

Refresh!

If the rivets are still tight I’ll take them. I’ve been trying to buy all used original stuff but every hinge I get is sloppy and I’m tired of it.

I will pull the springs and check them to be sure.

Thank you, please let me know how you prefer to be paid. I’ve got Venmo, Zelle, and I think I have a PayPal account. Or I can send you a check the old fashioned way.

I removed the springs and the hinges have some play in them. Not knowing any other way to accurately convey the play I photographed the play with a ruler. They aren't rock solid tight, but they are no where near as bad as the hinges off my 300k mile GTO. Those were an extreme case of wear. I had removed the springs to lighten the car and found the hood closed better without them. :lol:

It also appears that the hinges were powder coated.

The background story is these were on my Burban when I bought it. When it was at the body shop they recommended getting rebuilt OE hinges. A couple months later I found a set of OE hinges and set them off to be rebuilt. The truck got out of the body shop before the hinges arrived and they ended up on a shelf in the garage. A couple years (and at least 20k miles) later I rediscovered them and decided I should install them in since I paid to have them rebuilt.

First the passenger side showing up and down play, then side to side play.
