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.

Six bolts for hinge to body bolts. Three upper from hinge and body. Three lower from inside body to hinge. Some more info here.

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

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.
