The doors are sagging
« on: January 05 2017, 09:46:02 AM »
So the bushings are shot. The wind noise is there and i'm sure can be minimized if the door got the door back up where the factory put it. The pass side roller has stopped rolling on the roller and the roller is offset to indicate the bearing is shot. Ive just put pins n bushings in the trucks but never did a roller. I'm kinda wanting these to work like the factory designed em.

So I hit the ebay to look. pins n bushings a plenty but couldn't find a setup like this

For the G body.
I did find whole hinges but didn't really want to go that in depth if I can get away with the bushings n pins.

These say good for a and G body so I guess Im thinking buy the A body setup and go at it. I got the engine hoist and a nylon strap or two out and "hung" the door, cut the pins and popped the bushings out on the trucks Ive done. This looks the same except closer to the ground.

Anyone have some better advice or thoughts? TIA

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
