Whisler Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Does anyone know the "official" name of the device on the door hinge that holds the door in the open position. Both of mine on the '89 are broken and would like to replace while the doors are off for body work and paint. not even sure where to look in documentation.

ArdWrknTrk Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The flat spring? Mine have a rubber snubber behind them but I don't know if that's true of Bullnose. All the hinges fit up through the '96 body change according to Myrl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the hinges fit up through the '96 body change according to Myrl I believe it's called a check spring. There is a repair spring (Dorman HELP! 38435) that gets held on by one of those 1/2" head bolts. The spring by itself is not available through Ford.

I haven't seen it as my body man buddy just called and said I need them. Mine should be like yours as the truck body is '89. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
