Need to confirm amount of door hinge bolts

Obviously the lower is only one. My upper on my '86 Iroc has threads into the body for 3 upper hinge bolts, totaling 8. I see sets of 6 bolts on eBay, etc. I pulled the doors off 5 years ago, and can't find anything in any of the door hinge sag/replacement threads.

Thanks for any help. I'm finally going to put this car back together and get the project rolling after 8 years total of owning it. I had huge plans for it previously, as everyone typically does, and put it on the back burner for years.

Re: Need to confirm amount of door hinge bolts

Yeah, I see now that it's most likely 6 total per door, 3 on body, 3 on door. Hopefully someone will confirm with a picture though. If not I'll just go for it and order them blindly. Thank you.

Re: Need to confirm amount of door hinge bolts

Top.. 3, bolt heads on outside
Bottom..3, 1 on outside, two on the inside of car.

If you need the bolts. I part out third gens and have many used stock door bolts. $1.50 per bolt, + $7 usps priority flat rate shipping

Yeah, 6 for the hinge to body. Door to hinge is welded on

Any chance at all you'd be able to match the eBay guys? They do $20 shipped for both sides, 12 bolts. Although I'm just missing the 8 from the body. Lower hinges still bolted to doors, so that narrows down 4 of them.
