I think I made progress
I had planned on priming some parts today, but mothernature made it WAY to damp. So I decided to tear apart a part door for a pathc, then I decided to start changing out the doors on the 70 with some nice new/old already fixed doors. Put in new bushings and hinge pins while I had it apart. It was kind of nice, since they are already white it gave me a view of what it will look like when I repaint it ( some decade )
Question- Are all the replacement hinge pins extra long? I had gotten mine from Chevy Duty. They had the same part number for the 70 and the 82. When I did the 82 a few months ago they were not too long for the 82 doors. Today though they were around an Inch too long, so I cut them off once I had them in the 70's hinge. I wasn't sure if it would matter with the extra length or not, but thought it would be better to have them shorter. I did learn (well relearn) that trying to hang a door by yourself is a real pain in the backside (unless you got one of those toor jack things). I got it close, but I'll do a better alignment/adjustment when I have extra hands. Passenger side next time. Thanks for listening.
