My 55 wagon hinges are pretty weak and floppy. When I do a search for them on line, I get 55 Chevy hinges. I know they shared much of the same body work but are the hinges interchangeable too? Any in put would be greatly appreciated. |

The Hollander Interchange Manual does not include hood hinges, but the chance of a match would be slim to none.
Check here: http://www.hoodhingerepair.com/ They completely refurbish hood hinges to as new, starting at $175.00 per pair. Not cheap, but for something you can't replace, not too bad.
Buying a pair if Chevy hinges would probably turn out to be a nightmare, and ending with everything in the trash can. Finding used ones would probably produce weak and sloppy ones too.. most are probably pretty old and tired by now.
Here's a neat You Tube on hinge repair too: https://www.classiccarrestorationclub.com/video/how-to-rebuild-hood-hinges-008783/ _________________ PontiacRegistry.com... building the single largest source of Pontiac information, services, and entertainment in the world! |

oem part no. 8.015 522680 522681 right left
you could cross check these pont part numbers with 55 chevy ones, and see if they are the same. you can see photos of the repo 55 chevy hinges on line and compare pics to yours.
lastly, you can get your hinge rivets redone \ rebuilt good as new. |
