Droopy door hinge
I did a search on this and can't believe it comes up nada. My drivers side door hinges drops about an inch when I open the door. Can I replace just the bushings like in any other chevy or do I need two new hinges.
Can anyone post some links? Parts? 96 vintage.

There are bushings available from the usual suppliers.
However when I've read about drooping doors they've talked about replacing hinges not bushings, so I don't know if the bushing will help.
But the bushings are $2 and the hinges $50, so I might try the bushings first.
Let us know how it turns out - a tech tip might be in order.

Door hinge sag
I have the same problem on my '88. Tried to lift the rear edge of the door last Summer. It didn't seem to even move ( yes, I did loosen the hinge bolts). I just got a hinge alignment tool for Christmas. I'll give it another try this Winter. If no luck I'll go the new hinge route.
