Yes I know they are not "period bolts" so shane can change them if he wants to.
Shane' if you're watching you can pick your doors up and bring the clevis with you and I'll make pin while you wait.

Colin, you do fine work! We may have to call you "Sir Colin" from now on!

Good description of the door hinge failures over time. I have seen lots of Cab 13 doors here in Canada with the same problem and they have a much more robust design. Seems the driver side door shows more failure than the passenger door. I suspect decades of people using the door to pull themselves up into the cab and lower themselves out, by grabbing the top of the door takes it's toll.
