Square Door Hinge Bolt - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BruthaMan · 02-09-2009, 08:28 PM

On the top door hinge, there's one odd nut that is square. Is that welded to the hinge and the bolt is on the inside, or does that square bolt actually come off?

I haven't had any success getting past it and need to get the hinges off. Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks!

That is actually a welded nut on the hinge you need to go inside the cab and unwrench the bolt that comes through the cab and into the hinge

That's the only F%rd part of the truck. lol

Tape your socket onto the extention because I know of no magnet that will
get something out of a place like that.
I haven't droped one in there before but I can imagen hearing it roll around in there while driving.

Trucks with no dome light have a metal plug you'll pop out with a screwdriver.
Trucks with a dome light have a rubber plug with a wire going through it that you can pull out with your fingers.
