haha…oh well! I did manage to replace the pins on the driver’s side (cutting the pins with a cut-off wheel worked great). Thanks again for making this video!
Glad I could help! And damn, sorry I didn’t read this sooner! I’m currently replacing all the factory gauges with Auto Meter gauges. I threw all the factory ones in the trash. None of them worked. But I would have been happy to give you the clock for free. If you could make it work, great! If not, no big loss. I have seen them pop up on eBay every now and then. Thanks for watching! Best of luck to you!
If you can hear or even worse, see the hinge pin giggling inside the two hinge halves, then you need to replace the hinge pins. The door could also be tweaked. My original doors were rusted out so I put on some aftermarket doors, they were not straight at all. I had to cut and re-weld them a little bit.
I’m having problems aligning the doors. There’s always at least one corner of the door that doesn’t close flush with the cab or front fender. Do you think I need new hinges? Thanks
Honestly I don’t think you could change the pins in the hinges without removing the hinges from the truck. Maybe you could, but it would be VERY difficult, and you’d likely damage areas around the hinges. The door really needs to come off. Mark the hinges against the doors and cab before you remove them. That will make re-aligning the doors easier when you re-install them. The fender can stay on but you’ll likely need a u-joint attachment on your ratchet to remove the hinge-to-cab bolts.
Good Evening, I just wanted to thank you for this video. It was super helpful. You did a great job and all your hints really worked well. Thanks for taking the time to record this. I’m in the process of checking out your other videos. Thanks again!! Michael

Great video. How would I change the pins without removing the front fenders or doors? Or is that the only way?
I’m glad it helped!
