Re: Taking the Door lock out 1959
Why won't you buy a manual for your truck? So many of the simple things can be answered by looking up in the available manuals. Is it just easier for you to keep asking?

He's been told MANY times to buy a manual, just doesn't take advice well. I think he like's all the drama.

Re: Taking the Door lock out 1959
Here is photo of the back of the dash I found online with the lamps identified. If you have small hands and are flexible you can get to them from behind but the bezel is held in place with three screws. Some times it can be cranky to get out, they tend to hang up at the top; you might need to disconnect the speedo cable and oil line if there is not enough slack.
I am not even going to try and explain how to R&R a distributor or replace the vacuum online, you will need to poney up and get a manual or find the info. Chilton's or Motors from the era are on ebay and amazon all the time and have truck specific and unit specific diagnostic and repair procedures. I would only start replacing vacuum advance after I ruled out basic timing, etc. as explained before. Easy to check the advance with a timing light then you will know for sure.
