I think Pete's right. My '67 has 1/2" hex bolts holding the hinge to the body (and phillips holding the hinge to the door.
I ended up removing the door from the hinge and then the hinge from the body, rplaced the hinges in the reverse order. It took some fiddling to get the door adjusted properly, but alls well and the the new rubber weatherstrip sure is nice. For those who plan to replace the weatherstrip, it's easier with the door off, but very doable with the door on the car. And as Pete says, releasing the door restraint from the body (behind the kick panel) is the way to go. Next windlace.
Another upgrade was to replace the large phillips screws holding the hinge to the door with identical hardened allen heads - 5/16 coarse X 3/4".
