How do I fix my sagging/mis-aligned doors?
First, remove the hinge pins; replace them and the brass bushings. If that’s not good enough, the holes for the bushings are probably messed up–weld them up and re-drill new ones. Finally, loosen and adjust the door striker, then tighten it. Clyde (CJBIAGI) adds about hinges: “My door hinges are welded to the body and to the door. Not exactly sure how they aligned them but from what I under stand from at least one body man is that the way to make minor adjustments is to place a large piece of wood under the door along with a hydralic jack and gently “adjust” the door hinges. Seems a little crude but it does work, especially considering that there is no adjustment on the welded hinges.” John (vegadad) says: “Chevrolet still offers Door Pins & Bushings for h-bodys. The Pins are part # 9655646 and retail at $9.00 ea., although I seem to remember they come two to a pack. The bushings are sold 10 per pack Part # 9822198 at about $20 per pack $2.00 ea.
