Does anybody know if any company repops the inside hood latch for the 73-87 trucks?

What do you mean repop?
If it's stuck, try sitting on it while you reach for the release lever.
This actually worked for me 2 years ago.

I think you need to look again. They are still available

I see the latch but not the two core support pieces that used to be available.I'm just wondering if the changeover setup I have is worth the headache of putting on craigslist or if I should scrap it.

If you are talking about the support panel behind the grille, those variances are based on the year grille you have. The latch corresponds with the version you have.
