Can't find part that AD door hinge bolts into?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting ready to start on restoring a 52 AD 1/2 ton, have ordered most of the metal but there is a part I can't find as aftermarket and can't remember it ever being mentioned by others doing restorations.

I have to replace the driver side lower pillar panel that the lower door hinge goes into but the repair panels sold don't have what the Factory Assembly Manual (sheet#1 section #35) calls the "Hinge Panel Reinforcement" that contains strengthening straps and the captured nuts that you bolt the attaching hinge bolts into. This part is directly behind and attached to the the lower pillar opening. Mine is completely rusted away.

Where would I get that?? used parts??

Welcome to the board. I don't think that part is remanned. Here is one ad in the classifieds that might have some.

Selling parts must be in the classifieds.

Where in the Hampton Roads area are you located. We lived in Hampton for a couple of years back in 87-88 and enjoyed it.

Note to Mod

I never said I would sell him anything. I informed him I may have one in the parts pile and to contact me directly through a PM. If we can't help out our fellow truckers in this manner than the Democrats have already won.
