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

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.

Installation
These bolt on, but they arrive assembled with several components. If you are painting raw stainless hinges you will need to take them apart first, so take detailed photos before you do — it makes reassembly straightforward.
Both mounting faces are 3.5" x 1". Our scissor hinge installation tips and tricks page is linked in the description.

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, Bronco, C10 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 generally ships within 1-3 business days. Carrier transit time is on top of that, and larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.

LS hinges have remarkable craftsmanship. They arrive to my house very quickly and their customer service was great. I called them and asked them which diameter square tube They mount on and was given an answer immediately of 1 inch. Can’t wait to install them on my project..

We purchased these hinges and what a great piece! The quality of these hinges are second to none and with easy installation made these hinges even better. I did have a question about the hinges prior to install and the customer service was five star. I definitely recommend these hinges if you want a high quality product.

Love these sissor hinges. Work great,top quality products once again from LS Fabrication. I’ll be ordering more parts , great customer service!
Chris Yoder (verified owner) –
These hinges are well worth the money, the quality and precision is exactly what you’d expect as well! Requires little fabrication skills to install too. They have a custom look you’ll want to show off and have filled a much needed void in the custom truck market. I’ve purchased pretty much every product these guys have released and the quality is always top notch!!
Scott Tesone (verified owner) –
This is a great set of hinges! The motion of these hinges is outstanding and when used on a tilt bed floor they enable you to have a very tight tolerance at the header panel of the bed. They also enable you to have tight tolerances to the side of the bed due to their rigidity. The hinges are nicely laser cut and come with all necessary bushings and stainless hardware. All it takes is a couple welds to get them installed. Along with a great product, LS FAB has by far the best support of any shop or parts company that I’ve worked with.. I cant say enough positive things about these guys!

These hinges are awesome!!! Adds a great custom look to your truck!… and you can’t be the quality and price! They are pretty straight forward and requires little fab work. Makes you want to ride around with your bed tilted all day😂😂😂!… and the guys at LS Fab are a phone call away… on anything you purchase from them with questions or help. They came really quick too! This is just my latest mod from them and I’m sure not my last!… because they’re always coming up with cool products for your truck!!!
