After a long time coming, it's finally my turn to join the club.

The rumors of school bus troopies are true, I spent an afternoon scraping and cleaning gum, candy leftovers and children's...
Good eyes @AirheadNut, my replacements (OEM Toyota) came to me bare steel, and I just painted them with black POR before putting them in. So yes, @Kaderabek, they may already have been replaced, and maybe everything just needs an adjustment to...
Sure - very well could be replacements. In addition to be able to open the door at all and open and close them much easier, there are about a dozen odd sounds that have now disappeared - thank goodness.
If I had to guess I'd say those are replacement hinges, they appear to be painted black rather than body color. Both sets of rear hinges on mine are getting stiff and worn out, I have to lift the larger rear door to get it to close without...
I did take a look at the hinges and they honestly look fine to me. There's no sign of them dragging on the bottoms of the doors or anything like that. Again, it's an old truck and things age and sag but I think they're OK for now.
Success. Recalled that I'd loaned a 1/2" socket to a friend who needed to pull his battery out of his Corvette and those latch bolts looked as close to 1/2" as metric gets. My lucky day - bolts came right off, no issues at all. Door opened as...
Nope! It's been a busy spring (which is good) and we still have this useless rental house/garage. However, that should change in June, which will make this process much more doable. I have been wrapping my pea-sized brain around the setup though...
I just replaced the right door hinges in my cruiser. Until I did, I lifted the door a bit as I closed it so I would not have to "slam" it. Now I do not need to support it as I close it with the new hinges.
If you lift the door a bit, are you...
Slamming is not normal. It sounds like the door may be misaligned. Mine required slamming as well, but I knew it was due to play in the hinges. I replaced the hinges this last weekend and after realigning the door, it opens and closes as sweet...
Looks like it was slammed/bent. I would second loosening up the bolts and see if you can get the jaw of that hook to open. Then maybe see if it can be bent back into alignment.
Hey y'all. I searched the threads but can't find what I need so bear with me. My right rear barn door is stuck shut.. The mechanism isn't releasing the latch.
First photo is the initial position. Second is the "open" position. Third shows the...
