K/5 Hatch Latch Hardware ?
 
Any one know of a good source for 1st Gen Blazer/Jimmy rear hatch latch hardware? I need to replace the loops the latches catch on, as well as my drivers side locking latch has a busted spring, so it won't spring back. Also the relay rods are not matched, so one catch opens earlier than the other.
Subject is a '71 GMC Jimmy K/1500 with double wall top. Re-pop hatch from Brother's. Original hardware went flying all over the desert when the original rear hatch was busted up in a ranch gate mishap.

Hopefully someone else will chime in with good news, but as far as I know, there's only one option. Re-make on your own. Or buy good used. I haven't seen anyone sell replacements parts for the interior of the hatch. Even the hatch handle isn't repopped.

Your best bet would be to go to the for sale side and look for used parts, those parts can be hard to find. Garage door handles are as close as you can get for repoped, the one I bought from Lowes matched perfectly. Check your latch rods to make sure the one that opens first isn't bent, the two rods will be different.
