Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
well........this could have made for a bad day....been working a lot of OT lately so I havnt had but a few minutes here and there to work on the truck...
fiddling with my door hinges...when I got the truck the doors opened and closed like the doors on a brand new truck...when I pulled the hinges off I noticed the 2 bottom hinges were tight and harder to move than the top ones...so today I stuck one in a vise and started working the hinge back and forth,,,about that 3rd lick and the hinge fell apart!
oh wow...
broken hinge pin...
not trusting the others now I went ahead and disassembled all the hinges...
3 of the 4 pins were broken into many pieces...
these things were hard as the devil to get out...had to use the torch,pin punch and great big hammer to get them apart....
usually it would have been my luck to find this out after I got it all painted and my newly painted door was laying on the ground...
any body got any 1957 IH nos oem hinge pins?.....haha
guess ill be making these now
