Latch mechanism for rear panel truck door

I've been trying to find a rear door latch for my panel truck. My truck is a 52', but I'm thinking latches from other years might also work. Has anyone successfully tried hardware or industrial type latches on their panel trucks? Thanks.

If you are missing parts, I've got a few extra pieces for mine. Might have what you need. Here's a pic of the full setup that I'm using on mine

Success! The installation looks a little crude for now, but the new latch from Gary is in and it works. I'll do some more grinding and filling before paint. Thanks Gary.
