So - is there a market

I can nail down a price on Monday or Tuesday (Jan 5th,6th)

I have made them from raw cold rolled steel. It is much easier to weld - but I can make the from satin coat (A.K.A wipe coat). I'm pretty sure they were 16 ga.

I'm not looking to make a big profit from any of these parts I may sell but I do have to cover my material and time. The set up of the forming is the hardest part so the more I make the cheaper they get. Shipping is up to you. So I would have to say these should be your cheapest option to fix the holes and spotweld dimples on your box and maybe straighten out your tailgate. You will have to hammer, weld, grind and buff - These are NOT NOS PARTS but they'll give you something you can work with.

PS - someone chime in about any differences between the boxes of the late 60's trucks and late 70's trucks. Three VS four hinges comes to mind. Specifically the sides - # of hooks? wheel location? clearance light location or shape?
