I used them on mine, from LMC, I think. Fit and work. The doors are very smooth. Might get the same thing from the bushing kit, but for the cost, I wasn't willing to invest the time in that. Too many other things to do.

Usually all you need is a hinge pin repair kit about $10 and half hour to fix them. stovebolts.com tech section shows the easy way (for and AD but TF is the same). And you know that they will fit the truck.

I don't know if there's ANYTHING I did on that truck that only took 1/2 hour. It might have started out that way........

+1 on the hinge kits. Unless your hinges are rotted out beyond repair (like one of mine was), just re-pin them. I was able to find a solid used hinge from a local truck yard. After putting new pins and bushings, good as new.

I know what you mean, 1/2 hour assumes you have the hinges out of the truck, use a good hacksaw blade (Nickolsen are my choice), have the right size drill bit ready, drill charged, and all the parts assembled, and a press or big vice to press in the bushings. Before I found the tech article I had tried to drive the pins out to no avail....
