I'll have to check all the hinges on my HUP to see if after 30 years they need to be replaced again, if they do I'll post the parts number once I find it.

Brian and Phil, Yes, the pins have some wear on them, but that wear is not the problem. When the hinges are bolted to the door and the truck frame, the door does not have the proper clearance at the hinge end to close. I am not sure that I am communicating the problem clearly, so I will take photos next trip to the barn.
I have a good stash of pins thanks to a previous purchase, but do lack the bushings. Phil, I am looking forward to your posting of the bushing part number and the parts source(s)?
Thanks, R
