FC Rampside side hinge

Post by Sanman1st »

Hi Guys,

I have a 1963 Rampside that the PO used 4 gate hinges to hold the rampside on. I want to put a piano hinge back on the truck.
I was hoping a Rampside owner could tell me how thick the hinge is, how wide each side of the hinge is, what is the pin diameter or what size is the knuckle and how it is held on with screws or bolts? I know I can find a hinge that will work, I want to make sure I find one that is strong enough.
A picture would be nice if possible.
Thanks,
Ed

You need an OEM hinge, it is not a flat piano hinge. Try the Corvair Ranch Or Clark's used parts.

Danny thanks for the info,
If I was able to see the hinge, I'm sure I could fab something up.
Thanks,
