77-80 truck owners....

Can anyone with an original 77-80 Chevy or GMC fleetside truck do me a quick favor? Please take a pic of your tailgate straps, more specifically, the area where the tailgate latch locks into it...and post the pic here please.

I have several straps, all with little differences, I would like to find the correct ones to go with the 77-80 tailgate I am running. The straps and gate are all fresh from paint, I do not want to have to put this on more than once.

Thanks in advance!

It should...do you know if the straps match the gate by chance?

Can you take a couple close-ups of the latch area on the strap assemblies?
