doors swing open too far, easy fix?
my doors swing too wide and they hit the body. i think the little limiter bar that stops it has stretched or the holes in it have stretched. anyone with advice? how exactly do they stop the door?
thanks. |

The part you need is part of the door hinge asm. Most parts suppliers carry them or google 67-72 chevy truck hinge asm.

![]() ![]() You could also repair you existing hinge by using a welder to build up the stop blocks with a small bead then grinding it flat

Ok I may do the welding thing. Only problem is my doors are filled with 4 inches of mud. I guess I'll have to get it all out. Haha
