Updated hinges for a TF?

Anyone know of a replacement door hinge for a TF? I don't want to use the stock style hinge and was hoping to find a redesigned/updated hinge that works better than stock. Your help is appreciated.

Re: Updated hinges for a TF?

There are only stock replacemnts that I know of. Whats wrong with the original style? I have 3 TF trucks and have no issues with the hinges. I rebuilt stock hinges with new pins and bushings. I even flipped them around backwards and used them on the rear suicide doors on my 57 lcf crew cab. I can't coment on the aftermarket replacement ones available.

not sure what you want, but no sense in re-inventing the wheel.
new hinges and door latches make all the difference in the world on these trucks.
my truk is slightly modified, i still run repop hinges and latches.

any other type of hinge would require complete reworking of the door and jam
