NO latches are differenthere is the c-3 t-tops....... early 68,late 68-76,77,78-82 latch system.Some other parts are the same 68-82. Well I have first hand learn the hard way. My first redo was was a 79 that should have been parted out.Anyway the tops were flopping all over the opining, just like every thing. during restoration the tops were done seperate. I spent a lot of time ,effort & $$ to get the showroom new.well you know whats comming they were off a 68-76. had to buy used ones and do It all over.

68-77 have a different type of latch. It is easy to modify the rear latch to accept 78-82 tops However to attach the older style to a newer 78-82 you would have to buy some parts for the conversion.
