As to the rest of your post, maybe I didn't do a good job explaining myself in post #5 above. Nothing is binding, and it's not a blind hole.

The way the hinge is constructed, both ends of the roll pin hole are 1/4" I.D. The center section of that hole is 3/16" I.D., so you cannot drive a 1/4" drift all the way through from top to bottom, which is what I initially tried. I was finally able to drive the roll pin out using a smaller diameter drift (well, a bolt, actually).

Hope that clears it up. Much more info in Bruce88's post #120 in this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=318544&page=5
This is some great information. I love to learn from someone who learned it the hard way (frustration). Thanks for the info.
