.........does anyone have a lock/hardware for a '71 factory toolbox door? I can probably make something work, but if I can find the right one here I figured it was worth a try. Thanks!

Would a trunk lock cylinder fit?

I can't help but I am interested in an answer to your question as well.

Maybe a member can post a pic of the inside of a toolbox door? That would help me figure out how to make one.

k_5blazerfreak · 07-10-2009, 02:29 PM

TomsCheyenne · 07-10-2009, 02:54 PM

Does either one look like this?

k_5blazerfreak · 07-10-2009, 03:35 PM

They are identical, I am looking for keys for them

k_5blazerfreak · 07-10-2009, 03:49 PM

TomsCheyenne · 07-10-2009, 11:46 PM

I know Ford made a toolbox also which seems more common and less expenisve. I never looked close enough at the handle and lock mechanism to see if they could be interchanged some how??

TomsCheyenne · 07-13-2009, 03:28 PM

Don't know on the Ford box...........maybe..........I am sure I can fabricate something, it is pretty simple. I was just hoping someone had a rusty door they could sell the lock out of. Or just a pic of the back, showing whatever is hooked to the lock cylinder.

Field and Son · 07-13-2009, 05:11 PM

Tom,

I did not read close enough that you were wanting pictures. Here are some of the ones on my truck. If you need any more and or measurements I am glad to help....Jay

TomsCheyenne · 07-13-2009, 11:51 PM

Thank you, that will help if I can't find one.

**breeh** · 07-14-2009, 12:56 PM

Looks like a regular door tumbler.

TomsCheyenne · 07-14-2009, 04:37 PM

I tried a door tumbler from my Vega, it fits fine. I just need a key and then I can fabricate the arm, what's on the Vega one is already close. So I guess I am good to go!
