The hinges on my 77 stepside took a turn for the worse. I have to push the hood torwards the cab to close it and it stays up an inch or so on the sides when closed.
Are these things rebuildable?

You would have to drill every hole oversize and install new pins. I used 1/2" bolts with a shoulder (long ones with a smooth part) and cut off the extra.Then I put them thru the holes and welded them on.
Let me know if you want to see photos.

Hey, that would be cool... was it a kit or hardware store pieces? Is there a kit?
Thanks

Just regular 1/2" bolts long enough to have a smooth shoulder on them.
Warning: It takes longer to do than you'd think. Anyway.....pics............
The bolts are welded from the other side.I used paper shims between for clearance which disappeared with the welding.
