GM hinges or aftermarket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here is the issue I'm faced with. Both of my hood hinges are twisted and the rivets holes are egged out. I don't know if the hinges are GM hinges or aftermarket and do not know how to tell the difference between the 2. I have heard that aftermarket hinges will not last very long and are not worth the money. I can have the hinges rebuilt for around $150 + shipping and make them as good as new GM hinges if they are GM hinges. If they are aftermarket its not worth rebuilding them. How can I tell if they are GM hinges?
