K/5 Hatch Latch Hardware ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Any one know of a good source for 1st Gen Blazer/Jimmy rear hatch latch hardware? I need to replace the loops the latches catch on, as well as my drivers side locking latch has a busted spring, so it won't spring back. Also the relay rods are not matched, so one catch opens earlier than the other.
Subject is a '71 GMC Jimmy K/1500 with double wall top. Re-pop hatch from Brother's. Original hardware went flying all over the desert when the original rear hatch was busted up in a ranch gate mishap.
