I got two door lock cylinders, an ignition tumbler, two plastic black handled keys with Ford stamped on the plastic, and two all metal keys with Ford stamped on them. The look great, fit great, and work great.

May be more cost-effective that going to a lock smith...

And there ya have it

Had some time today. Put my NEW ignition cylinder in and 2 door locks. They were FORD pieces and FORD quality, but without the Ford Prices

They did not have a listing for my 97 HD F250 but the listing for the Econoline worked perfect.

I know it is possible to tumble the locks to get them to match any key - I've watched my boss do it, but am not personally familiar with the process nor how he did it - I only know it is possible. Too late for this thread I guess.

That's what the junk yard is for. A door lock should only be a buck or two.

Oh totally. I just meant if you were trying to match multiple vehicles. I just purchased the set you had linked. Thanks by the way.

Here is a link to the alarm system I had installed, as someone requested. I know viper is another common alarm system. A friend recommended this one so it is what I ended up going with. Ordered my new rear door, door handles today. Still not entirely sure if I am going to install those.
