Re: 59 fleetside hod hinges
Big mistake can be over cleaning hinges, they need some friction to stay put when open. If the rivets are worn or loose, no friction. Take a look and you might be able to cinch them up, if not repops are available.

Re: 59 fleetside hod hinges
yea pick a set of repops. I tried the spring route but a fresh set of hinges worked great
