On my 84, if you look behind the tailgate where it latches, on the sides, there's just enough clearance to get a screw driver in there, and pry the latch in, do it for both sides and you should be good I'm pretty sure you should have the same on a 77

just like you do when you can slip a credit card in a latch for house doors.
