There are no rubber bushing in the tail gate trunions for a fleetside or stepside tailgate. They are metal to metal from the factory.

Stepside originals are cadmium plated steel. Looks like they made a poly version of it. Should be sweet for the stepside owners.
Haven't heard anything about poly versions for the fleetsides though.

The fleetside trunions are larger diameter than the stepside trunions.
fleet trunion is 1-9/16" outside diameter. step trunion is 1-5/16" OD. The stepside trunion will actually fit inside the fleet trunion. Both tailgates pivot on the outside of the trunion hinge.

Re: Lower tailgate hinge
1954-1987 Chevy GMC Truck Stepside Tailgate Hinge Trunnion "Patent pending"
Ultimate Hinge Trunnion (4 Piece Set) made of Stainless Steel/Delrin replacement part! Made in USA!   These are very quiet while opening and closing the tailgate. See the pictures Website is: tdtrunniondesign.com Available on Ebay right NOW! http://www.ebay.com/itm/171718930810...84.m1555.l2649 These are hinge trunnion replacement parts to upgrade your Chevy Stepside Truck. The Trunnions are manufactured from Delrin and 303 stainless steel. I have a picture listed of the replacement trunnions that are zinc plated which will still rust on your truck. I also show the original trunnion that was removed and has rusted and made that awful sound while opening and closing the tailgate. You can reuse your bolts and lock washers, but would recommend you use stainless steel bolt and lock washer. Be sure to use an antilock lube when reinstalling your Trunnions, prevent bolt lock! Just remove the bolt with lock washer, replace with these stainless steel hinge trunnions and bolt back on your truck just in reverse of how you removed it from the truck. No more greasing the trunnion, No more rusting, No more noise with a huge improvement, smooth opening and closing of your tailgate! You'll love it! Free shipping USPS in 50 states. Material used: Delrin is a Acetal AF blend, supplied as a 2:1 blend of Acetal AF-100 and Acetal 150 resins, has excellent sliding/friction properties. Bearings made of Acetal AF blend can operate at higher speeds while exhibiting reduced wear. These bearings are also essentially free of slip-stick behavior because the static and dynamic coefficient of friction are closer than with most plastics. Acetal AF blend retains 90% of the strength that is inherent in unmodified Acetal. 303 Stainless Steel is very similar in properties to that of 304 Stainless Steel, However 303 has an addition of sulfur for better machining characteristics. 303 Stainless Steel is Corrosion resistant to temperatures of 1500 Degrees or more. It is used in screw machines, food processing equipment, marine applications, and some aerospace application. |
