Projects 1948 Suburban tailgate catch/striker

Hi all,
Working on a chop top burban with the clam shell style rear and it finally hit me that I am missing the striker plates/catches that the tailgate portion locks into on both sides. Searched the forums for pics and parts for sale, but came up goose eggs. Anybody sees this and has some info or help please reach out. Not urgent, but figured I would start the hunt with help here.

Thanks much,
Mark
