hingesrhfu.jpg RHF Upper Hinge Differences
(Note that upper hinges for the Right door are stamped LS; left-side hinges are stamped RS.)

The F-series & Bronco lower hinges are identical (reversible), and did not change from '80-96 (& '97 >8500GVWR). 

Early upper hinges use an S-spring rod & an indexed roller wheel that must be greased frequently (and turned manually occasionally) to avoid noise. Later hinges use a larger roller & flat band spring with rubber reinforcement, but the band is known to crack.  If it does, [url=http://www.amazon.com/Help-38435-Door-Hinge-Ford80-96/dp/B0002JMRY6/]HELP 38435[/url] is one way to fix it.
