i replaced the ones on my '78, they should be similar. not shure what tabs you speak of, but you have to slide the panel from back towards the front, and kinda tweek the whole thing to get it in the right spot. i tried using weld through primer but it just splattered the welds (i may not have waited for the primer to dry completely). make shure you close the doors b4 you weld to ashure proper alignment, and tailgate. keep checking alignment during welding. dont forget to weld your roof nut brackets onto the new panels!
