Door hinge pin/bushing kit

Does anyone know where I can find a door hinge pin/bushing kit to fix my sagging door problem? I've searched ls1tech as well as a google search, I couldn't find anything on ls1tech, and google only gave me links to the kits for 1st and 2nd gens. I read that a few people on here bought them from autozone/napa/etc but they had to modify them in order to make them fit since they were universal pins. I'd rather just find a kit made specifically for a 98-02 f-body. Do any sponsors happen to sell these? And I'm looking for just the pin and bushings, not the hinges themselves.

Have you tried the dealer? I haven't bought any for an f-body, but plenty for Suburbans and trucks and the dealer always had plenty in stock.

The General only offers complete hinges for your model, kind of a BS deal.
Maybe a local Napa or similar parts store offers a repair kit.

Yep, unfortunately from what I've heard all the dealer offers is the complete hinge kit which would be $$$. I might try a local parts store...but from what I've read they usually only offer universal pins which have to be welded or cut depending on the size they are, and then are never a perfect fit which would defeat the purpose IMO. I might try calling around locally to see what's available...I just figured there'd be SOMEONE out there on the net selling pins and bushings for these cars.
