My 84 Chevy 3/4 4X4 doors have springs that hold the doors open at some predefined detents. Both doors on mine are broken. Every junk yard truck of that era seems to have broken springs as well. Leading me to believe that the GM design is a weak one.
My friendly NAPA guy will sell me new hinges with the springs installed for ~$35. I'm wondering, given that I would like to fix the doors, are there better ways to go about this repair? I would rather put in a more robust fix.
