I have new GM hinges and springs. Here's the parts numbers:

3911705 LH Hinge
3911706 RH Hinge
3890741 Spring (need 2, naturally)

This is a much better way to go. I understand there would be a cost difference, if we could get a "kit" to rebuild them. But, I don't think I've ever seen one.

I simply went to a local dealership and told them what I wanted. They looked up the parts numbers, ordered them, and called me to come pick them up.

The reason I did that, is that Early Classic Enterprises told me that I could still get them from GM, and for less money than they could sell them to me for. So, later I spent about $1300 with ECE when I redid my suspension. Boy, did I save money, or what??
