Can I purchase the hinge pins from a local parts store or is this a specialty item? Thanks

I meant to say driver side hinges for a 71, sorry

Yes you can, they don't always have them and may end up ordering them for you anyway. I don't know what part of the country you are in, but AutoZone out west carries them specific to the 3rd Gen Nova's.

thanks for the tip. I will check out the auto zones here in south carolina.

These came up on AutoZone's website. I personally used this kit for both front doors on mine:

It came with 4 new pins and enough bushings to do both doors. It also had oversize bushings to correct any enlarged holes.

were they hard to replace? I only need to do the driver side.

Very easy to replace, the hardest part is getting the old bushings out. I recommend having a long punch and skinny hammer, as well as vice grips.
