My 86 has some bad rust in the hinge pillar. My father borrowed the truck, and didn't bother to tell me about the small rust hole, while it was small and on a flat easily fixed piece of metal... anyways I am in need of a new hinge pillar for my truck.
Ford does not make the part anymore. I actually had ordered one, and they took my money, only to call me three weeks later and tell me they didn't have the part, but could send me one from a newer truck. I was so pissed off at them that I just got my money back and told them to shove their pillar where the sun doesn't shine.
My question now is, would the hinge pillar off of a 93 work? I know the doors where wider in 93 then they where in 86, but the cab was for the most part appears to share the same dimensions. Thoughts? Ideas? I don't like just bondo and glassing over things, I want to fix it right. So any help as always is greatly appreciated.
