These hinges rust out over time...and break at the base.. Where did yours break?

As for the S-10 hinges, I've never seen them up close. However I've seen S-10 Blazers in the junkyard, but the rear hatch was locked and I couldn't get a better look. From what I did see, they look different than the wagon part....but there's a chance that you could retrofit it.

Post a picture of your hinge when you get a chance.

Nice job!
I was going to suggest that maybe you could do a temporary fix or repair your old hinge. Looks like your old hinge was beyond repair, yet it served it's purpose as a template to make a new hinge.

Good for you. If I come across any hinges, I'll keep you in mind. I will also look into the S-10 Blazer hinges to see if they will work on a wagon. I'm sure other wagon owners would like to know that information as well.

Thanks for posting the pictures of your handy work.. :wink: Keep up the good work...you're on the right path.
