You can see your part in the picture, but it looks like it is not available. It might be called a tailgate striker, looks exactly like the ones on my 76.

Maybe you can weld it?

Re: name this part? for 73 Blazer

The part you seek is called a tailgate latch stryker.
You happen to show a rusty right side part.
I have on in a GM original bag, p/n627484.
I was able to find these at classic parts of america, 1 chevy duty drive, Kansas City MO 64150.
The LH part was $7.50.
the RH part was $19.50.
Law of supply and demand.

The catalog says this part fits 73-82 model year balzer/jimmy.
