I didn't like the style (and cost) of new door hinges so I made my own out of 1/4" steel bar. I think they turned out pretty good for my limited tools and skill.

I drilled and tapped the backside of the hinges for a threaded stud. Drilled a few holes in the cab/door and added a backing plate and bolted them on.

good idea -- how big are the plates -- got a picture of the inside?? i made some similar to this and didnt like them -- but i also didnt think about just putting them on the outside -- probably dig them out now lol
 
SEE!...I was just getting into hidden suicide hinges and some one has to do this. It does have a cool factor....I mean it is a rat rod after all.[dr
