There aren't any salvage yards in my area with vehicles that old (25 years old). The oldest vehicles in salvage yards around here are 10-12 years old. Anything older than that gets sold to scrap yards and recyclers.I get why you’d want them - the truck came with them. I get wanting the truck to be as OE as possible in certain instances.
I will keep a look out for a set. These are free at the salvage yard. At least mine wouldn’t charge me for them most likely.
1992-1999 Blazers, Tahoes, and Suburbans with tailgates and hatches.I've never seen these before. Is it even a GMT-400 part?
Sure - I said I’ll keep an eye out for you. If you got 3 free pairs then you’d have a decent supply.There aren't any salvage yards in my area with vehicles that old (25 years old).

Didn't you keep yours after you took them off?As far as I can tell, you don't ABSOLUTELY need them...which is probably why GM discontinued them 14 years ago. I have taken mine off, and the tailgate closes and stays latched just fine. These small "chrome spring bumpers" seem to eliminate the ever-so-slightest "play" at the top of tailgate. With the hatch closed, there is the teeny, tiniest smidge of "play" still, but not even noticeable unless you were specifically looking for it. If I can't find replacements, I guess I'm just going to have to live the teeny, tiny smidge of "play" the tailgate has.
I did, but they aren’t installedDidn't you keep yours after you took them off?
If you ever go down a washboard road you will discover really quickly what the benefit is of having them in there.Sounds like a lot of $ and effort for something with no discernable benefits.
So you still have originals? I’m guessing damaged then.I did, but they aren’t installed
