The part numbers are 560511 and 560512 for the left and right hinges respectively
It took GD parts dept quite a while to determine the hinges I needed, but then sent me a set for free2018 Dodge 3500 6.7 Cummins w Aisin and 9 cup holders

Scott'n'Wendy Thank you so much for that information - it's extremely valuable for obtaining replacements! BTW - Have you had others break? I'm wondering if this is a constant repair that I will have to make. Right now I have a 1/4" bolt in place which seems to work for now but I worry about the threads cutting things.
You can tell they had issues with these as they not only put a hex in the top of the plastic pin, but they also had to use a secondary punch at the bottom of the hinge to stake the pins in (which makes removing the broken pieces "fun")2021 2800BH

TedS Ted, sorry I missed your post - you used a regular door hinge pin? What is holding it in place? They had so many things on the plastic pins to prevent it falling out I figured anything less would fail. They have an interference fit, a hex head top 1/4", and even stake the hinge metal into the pin all to hold it in place. I imagine your door hinge is just pushed in, or did you use a glue or loctite?
I'm curious as any solution I come up with will have to address that.
Thanks!2021 2800BH

My local ACE seems to have a good hardware selection, but I can now search to web too but we all know how that goes.
Safe travels my friend.

Yoda Keith, I'm going to suggest a can of worms for you, please post the results.
M6X75(?) Chicago bolt or 1/4X3" Chicago bolt and loctite. You will need to confirm the dimensions.
I wonder if the Chicago bolt is hollow all the way through similar to a wet bolt and could be strategically drilled to allow for grease.
I'm going hide under a rock to avoid the flying debris for the suggestion.Joseph

The dealership where the trailer was originally purchased (we purchased used) found the above mentioned part numbers for us. Didn’t have any in stock and said some remove the plastic pins and replace with metal. Had no additional advice on doing that. After reading here, I went to Ace’s hardware isle and found a 1/4” stainless pin that seemed to fit perfectly. I just installed so will see how it lasts. I had drilled out the little punch to improve removal of broken pin (don’t know that it helped). The burr left inside held the stainless pin after tapping in with hammer. Plan to add small dab of silicone if it works loose. Also put some dry graphite lubricant on pin and in hinge.2 Photos

I am wondering something. Would stainless steel welding rod work - it comes in all sorts of diameters?. Just cut to fit?
OK Ill go back to my corner now
