I have recently bought a 1988 90 truck cab 2.5 petrol with 25,000 miles and in absolutely original condition. I have bought an estate top and sides and intend to fit it soon. The question is, at that date, should the rear door have 2 or hinges? I have to buy a new door and there seem to be both options available. The triangular plate that takes the anti Luce catch is nit drilled for a hinge.

Can you post a photo of your 90 ? I’m assuming it has a drop down tailgate !!

My 1990 truck has 3 hinges, pretty sure a 1988 model would be the same. 2 hinge doors are for Series.
My '88 E reg station wagon has three hinges, and my '89 F reg hard top has three hinges.

You have to drill the holes for the centre hinge.
Or get hold of a corner capping plate from one that had a door or a blank and drill. I would try and do this personally as the hole for the anti-loose catch will probably not line up once removed and may get in the way of the hinge bolts holes. I did the opposite on my series when I went to a soft top and fitted a tail gate, and swapped the corner capping's out for the one with the anti-loose catch.

If you are not planning on having a spare wheel on the back door then 2 hinges will be fine. [ early 90 usually refers to 84/85 models.
