Tailgate hinges

Edited by 48cj2a - 18 July 2009 at 1:35am

For anyone who's interested in replacing worn or broken tailgate hinges. I got mine at a local place called Tacoma Screw, (I checked Fastenal and they didn't carry anything similar) You can contact them at http://www.tacomascrew.com and the part number is 593-404, description Welding Hinge 1950-3-1/2, I got them at my old price for some reason, but they've gone up a bit (not sure by how much) the old price was $3.78 ea. One of the leaves has to be cut narrower (where it welds on to the tailgate) but the other leaf, knuckles and length are the same as the originals (or in my case original-singular) that was on my trailer..
