What's this tailgate latch part called?

I have the ranger manual, but can't find what I'm looking for.

What's the tailgate latch part called, that is installed on the bed (one on each side), and the tailgate latches onto?
They're shaped like a "U" and mounted horizontally. Thanks for any tip

Are you talking about the tailgate strikers?

Ah, that's it. Thank you
I find the 5g technical manuals to be much more confusing to find things, compared with hayes and chilton. Thanks for the diagram
