It doesn't explain your .395" pins.
All the original hinges, I have repaired, had plastic bushing in them.
The all brass bushings suggests your hinges may have been modified.
Is the OD of the bushing correct for the hinge?

All the hinge pins I have purchased have been longer than stock.
I believe the extra long pin is so the same pin can be used in both the early and the later truck. I cut them down to the stock length just because I thing it looks better.
Functional they are the same.

Interesting the Classic web site listed their pin measurement as 4 1/8
I can get better measurements when I get home on Friday if not posted before then.
Cheers

My suspicion is the PO may have replaced them, hence the odd sizing, but I'll never know for sure.
I went to a NAPA (oops not NAPCO) shop here in town and they didn't have anything similar in stock so I just went back online to Classic Industries and bought a full set of hinges and the mounting bolts. My thought was after markets can't be any worse but I'll probably have to eat those words.
I also chased all the threads too just to take that out of the equation.
Stay tuned...
