Hi there! I am new to the board but kind of in a predicament, I got a new sliding door off of a 76 G10 to replace the rotted one on my 79. The problem that I ran into is the latch mech was not in the 76 door and the 79 latch has a different hole location for the handle. Any clue where I may be able to track one of those down? Thanks yall!

I found the door at a pick and pull but it was without the latch. It seems that they flipped the mech from the 76 to the 79.

I have found this on ebay latch but at that point it will cost me more than the door did.

If it will bolt in there just get a set of those HF step bits and drill a new hole.
