Latch Parts Break-Out Diagram in 83-96 w/ Nomenclature; "...78-82 latches are different from 83-96..."; Source: by Steve83 (Steve, That dirty old truck) at SuperMotors.net

Miesk5 Note; In 78-82, both latches have to be closed since the interlock safety switch is mounted in the center mechanism; & their strikes that mount to the body can be interchanged with some effort.

The safety switch was moved from the center (tailgate handle) to the left latch by 1983 by Seabronc (Rosie, Fred W)
