This exploded parts diagram shows the front door hinge installation on a Ford truck/Bronco body. It illustrates the door (part reference 2014-5) alongside the door pillar section of the body, with an arrow indicating the front of the body for orientation. Two hinges are shown: the upper hinge (part number 22800) and the lower hinge (part number 22806), each mounted with sealer applied between the hinge plates and the body/door surfaces. The specified sealer is ESB-M2G150-A or equivalent. Both hinges are secured with screws, part number 388053, which must be tightened to 19-32 N·m (14-24 ft-lb). The diagram uses phantom lines and directional arrows to show how the door aligns with the hinges and the body pillar.
