1st gen Blazer tailgate pins

I lost an endgate pin this morning, managed to figure out a temporary replacement to keep the endgate from falling out for now, but I'd like a new set. LMC seems to have new bushings, but I can't find replacement pins anywhere. I found a video on youtube where the guy drills out the hinge pins to accept a larger, universal pin and bushing set, but no part numbers.

Anyone got a source for direct replacement pins, or a part number for a suitable replacement? I don't mind drilling the hinges out if I need to but a direct replacement would be nice.

just drill the holes and use along bolt. Its nothing special back there. Im sure you have bolts there that will be faster and cheaper to obtain than a pin youd have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to get.
