door rubbing on door sill

i recently noticed that the bottom corner of my driver side door is rubbing on the door sill or ground effect (whatever you wanna call it). the door closes but appears to be digging somewhat of a groove and i dont want it to start rusting. am i looking at new hinges? if not then what?

How much would I be looking at spending to have that done? Would I have to take it to GM?

Hinge repair kits from 3rd Gen Solutions are what you'd need. I sell both their greasable and standard (non-greasable) versions. I also sell the tools you should have on hand to make the job go easier (GM door spring tool, long punch set and door alignment tool).

We charge 1.0 Hours per door. If you think F-body hinge bushings wear out fast, don't buy an S/T truck/utility.
