Don Colliau Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 The previous owner said it was in the car and I can't find it. A picture would help me look for it. I would imagine they are hard to find if it is missing. Thanks, Don Quote
suntennis Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 The hinge is probably the same as used on a 52 Suburban. The 52 uses a long piano type hinge that is about 3 feet long and aroud 2 inches wide. If you want a photo of one installed, email me. Quote

Don Colliau Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Posted October 22, 2013 Ok..found it...was in my "to be painted box" of small parts.....the studs I mentioned are actually nothing but 1/4-20 carriage bolts instead... Great pictures especially the end shot. Sunntennis sent me pictures and a sketch but I was having a hard time seeing it. Could you possibly give me the dimensions of the hinge so i can try to reproduce it? Thanks, Don Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Don..I think with a few minutes on a brake you could easily duplicate this item...good luck..and maybe the original will turn up Quote
pflaming Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) The 54 suburban upper gate is differs from the earlier models. I need to correct the title of my suburban thread. My car is a '54, which I did not know when I started the thread. I trust these pictures will contribute to the knowledge factor of this forum. To repair this gate would take a lot of work so I'm searching for a replacement. If need be I will. Edited October 24, 2013 by pflaming Quote
Don Colliau Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Posted October 23, 2013 Well I just got news that it has been found. Thanks for all the replies and information. I hope to see it the first of next week. Don Quote
