    the doors are the same,,,,,,,but each hinge is different from each other,,,,,,,,but they should work together whether they go on the side or rear doors,,,,,,why are you asking?

    There are opinions and there are facts. It's a fact that the left top and bottom and the right top and bottom side door hinges are the same as the left top and bottom and the right top and bottom rear door hinges. And doni's right so don't get them mixed up

    The side doors on my donor van has stops built into the hinge and doesn't use the strap, I'm building a 67 no door found some solid side doors that im putting on the back of mine wondered if anyone had used these hinges. Thanks

    I kind of like the doors being able to swing back flat across the rear. works out well with a pop up canopy. I usually unhook the straps. I take it the stops in the hinge wouldn't give you that option?

    what do you mean you got stops built into the hinges,,,,,,,there is a stop plate in our hinges which limits the door movement to 180 degrees,,,,,,and that would be to stop the door from hitting the body when fully open,,,,,,,and there are straps that only let the door open 90 degree,,,,,,and those are irritating but removable,,,,,,,,,
