1967 Barracuda Lower Door Hinges

[toomanyfish]

I am cleaning up and painting my hinges, and it looks like there are 2 left side hinges, with one installed upside down on the passenger side. This is an early production 67 fastback. Looking at what is for sale, there is a L and R hinge, but mine look the same, other than one is installed upside down. I am also looking to replace the pins, but I am seeing pins and bushings from Dorman, but I don't see any bushings in these originals. I have no reason to doubt these are all original based on markings and paint. They look the same in the pictures, just flipped around. Any ideas?

Talk to moparleo

I believe the difference is the direction the pin is pressed in. Otherwise they are the same.

Personally I would not use the generic bushing kit.

Either have them professionally rebuilt OR buy new.

Alternately you could find good used right hand hinges. They typically get less ware. Flip the pin if you want but I would just install it and not worry

Thanks for the information.

I may just rotate the pins 180 degrees that are in there. They have some wear on one side, but the hinges are not egged out. I looked at my 1970 Cuda, and it has the same setup, same hinges, just flipped. Mopar being cheap and reusing stuff again.
