Chances are that if the lower hinge is worn, the upper is to. I just changed the pins and bushings on my 68. Not that hard of a job but does require some grinding to remove the old pins. As for alignment, scribe around the hinge before you remove it. Good luck

When I took my doors off. I drilled 2... 1/8" holes in each hinge for realigning. I had my front fenders off.
