Do you need rear door hinges or front door hinges?

Town wagons & panel trucks used the same body from 1956 through the end of production, and the same front sheet metal from 58 to the end. The front door hinges are standard issue Dodge truck hinges from 56 on. Probably won't help your search, but at least you can expand your search from just Town Wagon & panel to Dodge trucks.

The rear hinges are panel & town wagon only. 15 years ago we had to adapt a pin kit from something else to repair the rear hinges on my son's 56 panel. I think I just found something the correct length with a larger diameter, and drilled the hinge holes out to the new size. Gene

thanks for the info , id like to do the front door hinges and just pin kits on back doors . i limited my search to 60-66 on panel trucks and 58-60 on d100 but even then nothing came up . looks like ill end up having to see if some aftermarket chevy hinges or something like that will work with some modification

Wonder if www.vintagepowerwagons.com might have something, or maybe www.robertsmotorparts.com both deal with old dodge trucks. Gene
