Guys Im restoring an '87 v10 - all stock long bed, 350.

My drivers side door doesnt stop correctly. Lookig at it tonight, it looks like there's a loop that pressures the 'small wheels' that are attached to the hinges.

I dont know what its called or even how to replace. Please see pic below -

Can anyone tell me how to replace and qhat its called?

That's the detent that holds the door open so it doesn't fall closed when the truck is facing uphill. To repair it, you just have to replace the hinge.

Years ago when these squares were plentiful, you could buy just the spring from the Helps board at the part stores. If the notched rollers are rusted or worn, then you would need the whole hinge. They also sold a neat tool to change the spring in minutes too.

If you can't find the spring for a decent price shipped let me know. I think I have a set and we can make a deal on one.
I just sold a cab that had a brand new one, I should have pulled it off and put one of these used units on it.

When I restored my k5 I put new top hinges with the spring and rebuilt the lowers (bushings and pins).
Bought AMD brand, work well.

If you didn't find one yet let me know, I pull the 2 off the cab I am selling without doors. They aren't new but I will sell you one for just the shipping cost. Of course I can't promise it will last another 35 years :naughty:

Scott, that's so nice thank you. Thank you very much.

Would it be ok for me to send you a UPS label? All i would need would be the approximate size and weight of the box.

I can send it from my office, email if ok. All you would have to do is print it out and tape it to the box.

Perfext timmomg too.

That would be totally fine.

Let me find a small box and i will shoot you a DM with the dimensions and weight. I can walk across the street and drop it at the UPS store.

Just wanted to make sure you saw the message I sent. Sometimes the alert isn't very noticeable.
