Tail Gate Hinge


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 4X4 5.3L. The tailgate hinge broke so I was researching a replacement. One parts store I go to said he can get the old body style but not the new body style. All the other online stores don't ask if its an OBS or NBS. I called my local dealer and the want $105.00 for all 4 parts. If it's the right part I can get it from Rock Auto for $30.00 with the shipping.

I was wondering if this is for the NBS or not. Dorman #38642 OEM#s (15074252, 15074253, 15078745, 15078746) Thanks.

P.S. I probably could look at the #s stamped in the part, but I'm at work and would like to order it soon.

Are you really looking for the tailgate hinge (the steel parts welded to the base of the tailgate) or do you just need the cables that support the tailgate?

Very good question, I would like to know as well. Exactly what you're talking about.

The hinges on the lower left hand corner, and lower right hand corner. It consits of two bracket per side. One bracket bolts to the gate, one bolts to the bed. On the bed, one side is completely round, and the other is much like a cresent moon, to allow you to remove it. On the gate it has basically a round peg with flats on 2 sides. The cables are fine. Does that clear it up? Thanks.

I got my hinges from rock auto. FYI they are a brass like color, and for some reason I kind of like them.
