Tailgate Rubber Bumpers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1978 Big 10 that the previous owner installed new repop bed sides from LMC. Most of the rubber bumpers everywhere on the truck were either missing or rock hard so I ordered replacements for a 1978. The top bumper for the tailgate is a small round bumper that inserts into a hole but my bed sides have a large rectangular opening with a screw hole at the bottom as shown in the photo. Do I need bumpers from a newer model to fit there and will they work properly? Thanks.

Sorry for the sideways photo.
