Technical AD chevy panel truck rear hinge question.

I am working on a 48 chevy suburban that had the rear tailgate changed over to "barn door" style doors off of a panel truck. I am fixing up the "mess" they made and need to see how a picture of the proper fasteners and holes in door jamb. this truck has big washers and hex bolts that go through a too large of a hole. the heads stick out into the jamb and clash with the doors.
thanks

 

I’m sorry, I don’t have any pictures, but I’d love to see pictures of what you are working on.

 

might look at the front door upper hinge, see how that's attached? perhaps they used the same hardware...

 

I will post photos soon.

 

they mount totally different. from what I see they must not be adjustable [?] although the recesses were on the inner jamb, there must be something missing on the inside. I guess the suburban [tailgate] and the panel truck [barn doors] were built in the same plant, some stuff must have not been added as needed.

 

I have the manual for 55-59 trucks, it shows how they spot weld the panels together, and the hardware used to ***emble everything. I looked in the 47-54 manual, it has nothing on the panel/suburban.




If you can post pictures of what you're working on, it might help us see what you're talking about...

 

My old '54 Panel. Sorry, lousy pics...and missing bolts.

 

thanks

 

I just got back from an out-of-town trip so I'm making these pix at sunset.
My AD panel was put together by an previous builder so I'm thinking some parts are not original but maybe you will see something that you can use.

 

thank you. looks like no adjustment at the body. that is what was confusing me.
do you know if there is a filler block in between the jamb and the hinge? mine has a 3/4" hollow space between the sheet metal the bolt head pushes against and the sheetmetal the hinge is against.

 

Because my rear doors float in the opening and line up well I've never thought about or seen what's inside under the bolts. Looking at the hinge bolt heads from the outside of the jams there are no apparent adjustments that I can see. They seem to be snugged down exactly the same.

 

Somewhere out in my pile I have the two sections out of a burb that had barn doors that I drug home with the idea that I would use the back half as the basis as the bed for my 48 only to figure out that it was so rotten that there wasn't enough salvageable sheet metal to do it. I'll look in the morning

 

thanks

 

that would be great
