Ianbw86 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hey guys, been searching around for days now and can't seem to find much. I recently got a 79 KC and I have my tailgate, but one of the pins and hinges is missing. Can anyone give me a lead besides the 40 dollar eBay ones? Would a door hinge work just as well? Any help is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Take your good one and spend the money at Home Depot. Door hinges are nothing the same. Quote Link to comment
Jersey Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 If I have read this right...You’re missing the hinge pin and the half of the hinge that bolts to the bed, am I correct? Quote Link to comment
Ianbw86 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Yes, that's correct Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the tip, that was definitely where my head was going with it. I've read the stories about Bill's Datsun but decided just to see if maybe he had one lying around. He didn't know the difference between a 720 hinge and a 620. It also took 3 call backs for him to tell me that. Now I know. Quote Link to comment

If you find any turn signal/side marker lenses in that plethora of parts I'd love to take those off your hands as well 😉. Thanks everyone for the help! 1 Quote Link to comment
