I was able to save the hinge by cutting away enough of the surrounding metal that I could grind off the weld. I got a hinge rebuild kit for all four hinges off of EBay.
When I was re-assembling it I screwed the new hinge mount to the door, bolted on the hinge, and put the door back on the truck to make sure everything fit. Then I took it back off and welded it all up. My top hinge mount was broken loose also so I fixed that while I had the door opened up. Years of adjusting the door with a block of wood had taken it's toll.
I got the outer patch panel from Brothers, inner panel and hinge bracket from BowTie Bits. I had to do some work on the hinge mount to make it fit up to the door right but the other panels fit good.
BTW, these doors are heavy. I work alone so I had t use my engine hoist to lift it into place.

do you have a pt# for that inner door piece?
