hi all
can anyone tell me what if any other door hinges will fit my 83SS?
el camino parts are real scarce in my area but lots of mid size cars around in the bone yards.
thanks

I would think that any 78-87 g-body (Regal, Cutlass, Monte, Lemans,Elky,Grand Prix) door hinges would work.

you can use hinges from a cutlass,malibu,bonneville 4-door too. they will work nicely and won't be as worn as the ones on a 2-door. i replaced my worn out hinges with hinges from a '84 bonneville 4-door.

Search (http://www.elcaminocentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=search) is your friend. This has been discussed before.

In addition to the normal two door hinges from any other A/G-body, you can use the front upper hinge from a four door A/G-body on a 5th gen El Camino. The 4dr lower hinges are different. Here is a complete list of possible four door donor cars for upper hinges:

78-81 Buick Century 4dr
82-84 Buick Regal 4dr
78-87 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4dr
78-81 Pontiac LeMans 4dr
78-83 Chevrolet Malibu 4dr
82-86 Pontiac Bonneville 4dr
