Lid Hinge

Am building a storage bench for my wife with 1" stock. I need some hinges to
support two 1"13x24" lids, preferably allowing the lids to open upright
flush with the back of back, i.e. not swing behind the box when open. A no
mortise hinge would be fine - it need not be fancy - but all those I have
seen are for 3/4" stock. I could chisel the sites for those hinges down to
3/4" but would prefer not to. Any suppliers that you know of? I've tried all
the usual suspects - Rockler's, Woodworker's Supply, etc., but with no luck.

Thanks.

So why is it you can't use the hinges you've found for 3/4 stock on 1"
stock?
