Anyone use them?? How do the compare to the GM ones???

I have some with some new springs too. They work well. Mine were made in Argentina of all places.

Bought some with new springs as well, got them from Classic Industries last time I was down there and I have no complaints.

i bought a pair of repo hinges 5 year ago and they were junk. I went to gm and bought NOS

I have heard more bad stuff than good stuff, but there might be more than one company making them. I would use the above part #'s and order them from your local chevy house. It would be worth the extra $$$$ IMO.

pat 70/71 · 07-12-2010, 11:29 PM

mine were new gm with springs from early classic adjusted great and work great! I would say pay the money & go with gm even if you have to wait a little bit cheers, Pat

Have to agree with fine son.

Thanks guys. I have a friend that is building a really nice truck and needs some.

Myself · 07-13-2010, 10:53 PM

It all depends,.......Who was the repo man? And, how careful was he when he removed the hinges? Those guys are usually in a hurry.

Steve,

What was the finish on the GM hinges?

b&a72 · 07-14-2010, 01:05 PM

I had some, and they were junk kept pushing the hood one way and gave me all kinds of problems. Got a pair of NOS ones and put some new springs on and bam fixed the problem.
