Id be willing to bet its one of those parts that have obsolete for some time.
You can go buy a clip if you can find a decent one in the salvage yards. Or I can sell you mine as this one is a spare!

I tried to google it again, but to no avail, is it only a certain year they came on? I live in Ontario and most trucks of this vintage are completely rotted, never mind finding one with the door still intact. I would like a new complete unit or at least the door and frame. Any links or ideas?

ONE MILLION DOLLARS.... IN MY EVIL VOICE!!!
Honestly I dont even know whats its worth. Obviousy value is determined by demand.
The tool box is complete: plastic insert, lock catch, hold up cable, support bracket. The only thing I see that is bad is the support for the catch is missing. But that is basically a piece of sheet metal.
If you want to make an offer send me a PM.
