Description

Scissor hinges for a custom truck build — a tilting hood, a tilt bed floor or any custom opening compartment. Double armed and available in stainless or billet aluminum, they carry the panel and keep the pivot tight.

Features

  • Laser cut from 3/16" 304 stainless steel, or CNC machined from 3/16" 6061 billet aluminum.
  • Double armed for sturdiness over competing hinges on the market.
  • Assembled with 3/8" stainless steel bolts, nylon washers and low-profile jam nuts.
  • Hole tolerances tightened to 3/8" to eliminate as much play as possible.
  • Mounting face of 3.5" x 1" at both mounting locations.
  • Sold as a pair.

Choose your option

  • Stainless steel, bolt on
  • Billet aluminum, bolt on

Fitment notes

Raw stainless hinges have to be disassembled if you plan to paint them. There are several components, so assembly takes time and planning — take detailed photos before you take anything apart.

Scissor hinge installation tips and tricks

Working out which gas struts to use? Our gas spring calculator gives you the force, stroke and length to order from your own measurements.

Pairs well with

Not included

  • The gas struts or actuators that raise the panel. Our electric tilt bed lifts are built to work with these hinges.
  • Any bracing or reinforcement your own bed floor needs to carry the load.
  • Paint or plating. Raw stainless hinges have to be taken apart before they are painted, and there are several components, so photograph everything first.

Common questions

How much weight will the hinges carry?

They are double armed and cut from 3/16" 304 stainless or machined from 3/16" 6061 billet, assembled on 3/8" stainless bolts with the hole tolerances tightened to 3/8" to take the play out. They are built for a tilting hood, a tilt bed floor or a custom opening panel. A complete bed - floor, wheel wells and sides together - is a heavier job than a single panel, so tell us what the bed is made of and how it is braced and we will say whether this pair is the right choice.

Are they sold singly or as a pair?

As a pair. Each hinge has a 3.5" x 1" mounting face at both mounting locations.

Can I paint them?

Yes, but raw stainless hinges have to come apart first. There are several components, so take detailed photos before you disassemble anything and allow time for the reassembly.

What will hold the bed up once it tilts — and will your electric lifts do it?

Work it out on our gas spring calculator. Put in the length and weight of the panel, how far you want it to open and where the strut mounts land, and it gives you the force, stroke, extended and compressed lengths to order, warns you when the closed mounting distance is too short for any off-the-shelf strut to physically fit, and checks the same numbers against our electric tilt bed lifts so you know before you buy whether the pair is rated for your build. Where the mounts sit moves the answer more than anything else, so try a few positions in the calculator before you drill.

How do I know it fits my truck?

This part is listed for 1947–2006 Chevy, GMC and Ford 3100, 3600, 3800, Blazer, C10, C1500 and others. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.

How long before it ships?

It is a stock item and leaves our warehouse in 1-3 business days. Transit after that is typically 2-5 business days in the United States. Larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.
