It really turned out to be a bigger PITA than I originally planned. But I'm not the best fabricator. I still haven't got the receivers figured out.

For the rear receivers/bump stops on my 74 C10 I had the same problem but figured out how to use the ones off the Buick as well.
I modified them as below then swapped the right side off the Buick to the left side on the truck visa-versa. Then I made the "L" bracket that holds the Buick striker/rollers ? that mount to the rear stock hinge bolt hole on the hood, You can see the flat washers under this "L" bracket used to adjust the rear of the hood level with the fenders.
The stock hood bump stops on the cowl will have to be removed to use the rear Buick slider track system.
I did all this just before I stripped the truck to the frame for the restore 5 years ago, That's the reason for the rust/unpainted pieces but will be detailed before re-assembly.
This set-up works just as perfectly as Buick intended it to on their cars....
