hj van tailgate hinges

[Taily]

3/75 H8 built HJ ute. Never been off the vehicle since new (read: this ute was special ordered/purchased new by a member of my family and remains in the family with it being left to me about 11 years ago). Apologies if it says something different to what others are saying but just showing it here for what it is. Certainly not trying to have a go at anyone but there may have been different implementation dates for the hinges at different plants due inventory?



Regards,

Dave.

it is one of the very few i have seen with long hinges but have seen some...most are short as ive wrecked way too many originals in the last 20 years for them to be all longs...as for apoligies there is no need as no one will ever work out 100 per cent what each plant did with what bits.
