Ya'll can do it. I've been living on half a heart for 7 years now...with no help from doctors!
You have a small foot....and a half a heart???
Yah....I was voted class clown.
Keep plugging...where there's will there's a way!
Sometimes you can find hinge pin and bushing sete in the help rack at the auto parts store. Maybe you could find something there
Thats my starting point, kenny.
That will happen on Monday. My local store has a kit but it may be a bit bigger then I want. It Mics out at just larger than 5/16.
I did a quick search on the internet and am not finding what I need.
The pin comes in at 5/16=0.3125 Most that I have seen are much too thin.
The heavy strap part of the hinge has the pin pressed into it. So that has to be taken into consideration.

By the strap part I’m referring to the part that bolts to the inner door.
On these, near as I can tell the pin was press fitted into the strap and the pin turns against the bushing. The pin shows no wear. The bushing has been hogged out.
The first pin I bought from a reputable Mopar parts dealer. No where near being big enough.
Who knows....

Just thinking out loud...
Can you drill the strap and hinge for a 5/16" bolt, then use a grade 8 bolt as a pin, with a self locking nut on the bottom? You would still need a bushing top and bottom on the hinge, so that hole would need to be large enough to fit the 5/16" ID bushing. Might sound a little redneck, but I think it could work....
