Default Need some help with door pins and bushings

Hey guys, I’ve been searching and can’t seem to find the part numbers for the GM door pins and bushings. Does anyone know the OEM part numbers? The original bushings are shot in both of my doors

I mean, I'm asking what year you have because I have no idea. For all I know you could be talking about a K5 or something. I didn't want to give you the wrong parts.

Thanks for the link. Have you used these with any luck?
I was considering a Dorman set, but all the reviews I’m seeing online say that their bushings are very brittle and may break upon installation.

No, the set in my Blazer was ordered from a GM dealership because the shop had to reweld my door anyway so they figured they might as well see if any were available. The reviews for the set I linked are mostly positive though.

Check out blazen_red_4x4's thread on oversized door pins.
I will probably go that route once mine lose their effectiveness.

I used a cheapo set from Amazon and they worked great. No issues at all.

I finished up the door pins/bushings today without a hitch. Lubed the pins with magnalube before installation, and pressed in the bushings with a homemade bolt/washers/15mm snapon socket press. Everything went well and the doors close nice now. Thanks everyone for your help
