Found the door catches. Had to make some new rubber bumpers for them out of a solid piece of rubber I found in the garage. Put them in temporarily so the doors don't swing all the way open and mare the primed finish.
Moving on, I wanted to clean up the back end of the bed by making all the Screw heads the same. I bought some Nutserts from Amazon and later found out Farm King supplies them (They call them Quick Nuts). Also called Speed Nuts. They sell a tool for installing them for about $80 bucks and more. Went on You Tube and found a way to make a tool out of flatbar in about 10 minutes. I used a piece of "C" channel and ground the ears off one end. Then I drilled a 1/4 inch hole in that end for a 1/4 inch bolt. With a couple of washers added, I then used my 3/8 drill to set the Nutserts in the sheetmetal. Quick and easy and seems very strong too. Now all the screws at the back of the bed are 1/4 inch stainless steel button head Allen screws. Should look symmetrical now. No chains hanging off the back.
