You are an inspiration Mr. Jones....
I have also search high and low for such hinges and like Phil came up empty.
Not having all the milling/press I think it can still be done albeit slowly. The big hurdle is to get a machine shop to make me the suitable half circle die. I am sure I can duplicate the bending press with my 20 ton hydraulic press for such a short item. I may cut the individual fingers with a metal band saw and finish slowly with a file. On the door skins..... lucky I have only 2 doors otherwise I would have to deal with four skins ....... did you prebend the two top bends in the top section first then worked on the sides .... How difficult was it doing the curved section.... it seems that it needs to be shrinked first when you do the first 90 degrees than stretched when you finally flatten that section down. Did you use any heat at all....? Did you spot weld one side before doing the opposite side?? Thanks for the pictures. Cheers

Not the same.....
I was able to compare them at their facilities in Lockport NY and they are not the same...... at the very least you would need to reweld the hole and redrill.
At the time they also had a very pricy set without holes drilled made of solid brass at over $100 each..... which could have been drilled to fit but the price and the lesser strenght of the brass discouraged me from buying. The cab11/12 hinges are definitely a weak link for these trucks.... they sagged and twisted but they were not designed to last 75 years!!!! All the examples I have are stretched out at the top hinge and twisted inwards at the bottom...... makes it hard to decide what shape they were originally. In redoing the frame work of my doors I took the opportunity to brace the weak areas around the lock which means I have added slightly to the weight the hinges will carry. So far I have not been able to find similar lock mechanism so derusting and rebuilding is in order. On some of my locks have metal added either welded or crudely brazed on the protruding latch mechanism to counter the widening of the door gap due to sagging of the rear wall leaving the door unlatched. Door skins are my next project. Cheers
