Door locks
Both doors locks and my ignition use different keys and I only have the one for the ignition. I'm finally going to break down and replace all three with ones that are keyed alike. I found these from D/C Dennis Carpenter Locks
I'm in Montana right now and the truck is in WA so I can't go look but I swear my locks had a little arm on the end to actuate the locking mechanism and the ones from D/C don't have anything on the end. Do the arms on my old locks come off or am I completely remembering wrong about how they work?

Colin;
The L shape piece attaches to the cylinder with a small spring, if I remember correctly. If you have them with your old cylinders, you will be good to go. I bought the same set from DC.
Good luck in your quest.

Colin,
I believe Wally is correct. I am not near my truck either, but I think that little round spring actually holds the bar/arm into the back end of the lock cyl. I will probably need to get replacements for mine, b/c they work, but are worn very loose.
HTH.
Aloha, Tony
