I was busy with other things this evening, but I had a few minutes before bedtime to finish up a small task I've been working on for a while. I've been wanting a set of original '68 or older door locks for this truck because they have a small feature that was eliminated in later years. There is a subtle detent or click that stops the key in the straight position so that it can be removed easily without having to search for the right position. A friend bought a wrecked '68 recently. It was missing the key, so he got the code off one of the door locks, and I reached out to LockDoc who made a key for me along with building a glovebox lock that works with the same key (thanks, Leon!). My friend was having difficulty getting the ignition lock out, so I went over there this evening, and after lots of wiggling it popped out. It was caked up with graphite sludge.
I just got done installing the locks on the truck. I'm guessing it has been a long time since this truck had fully functioning locks. Very satisfying!
Here's a video that shows the little detent/click that the older door locks have.
