Well, I've done the search and there's nothing on 67 door hinge pin replacement. HA!
Mine must be different from the others because nothing I read said anything about 2 different bushings on the same hinge. On my lower hinge, the upper was a brass bushing, the lower was a thin nylon bushing. The pin itself had no wear marks but was bent.
Now, I'm having a hard time getting the brass bushing out. The hinge itself is not wore out at the holes needing a larger bushing or anything.

Question #1. Has anyone ordered the rebuild kit with both types of bushings?
#2. That arm that's suppose to have the spring against it, the pin that it pivots on is bent a little bit pitching the arm at an angle, (probably why the spring is gone) and the pin sits up a bit. Can I hammer that pin down to straighten? Or is it a fixed non moveable pin?
Can I get the springs too?
How about the special hinge to door and to body bolts. Are they available too?

#1 Nope #2 Might be worth a try. I think I’ve seen them in catalogs. I dunno.
If you screw them up, let me know, I have some spares. If not let me know how it went and I might try rebuilding mine.

I have done several 67's with the repro kits and never had any problems. Your lower hinge sounds pretty trashed. I think I would start with a better one. You know almost all GM cars used the same hinges until 68 so finding a better one shouldn't be very difficult.

I have done a few sets of 69 hinges and they all needed 2 sizes of bushings. Some kits are available with both sizes but not all have both sizes.

If you still need bolts, I have some leftover 69 bolts laying around out in the garage. Might be the same for 67. Send me an email if you need them.

Thanks for the replies guy's. smile.gif (Hey, I'm a poet and don't even know it.) LOL :rolleyes:
I'll pull the other hinges and give them all a good look and then plead & beg for some. LOL
