Door lock on '67 quit working
Mentioned it to my neighbor (a locksmith) and he said the pawl had broken off the back of the cylinder. Thought he had some in his truck, but he can't find any. I took the door panel off and found he was indeed correct:
I can read the part number off the back as C7TB-8121-970-A but an internet search comes up empty. Does anyone know where a suitable replacement can be found? For the time being I JB Welded the stick back on. With luck it will work, but I really am not confident it will. I'd take complete lock cylinders too because I can get them re-keyed for cheap, but would prefer to just replace the pawl on this one.
Help?

Despite the ID number, there is no part number, as this "lever" was only furnished with the lock cylinder.

lever
As a matter of fact I was sitting here trying to remember if I threw away the one I took off my Bump a while ago. It had a bit of a notch wore in to it. I guess it would be better than a broken one. I'll check when I get home.

somebody close to you probably has a used one laying around. I have several but am in Florida. Whenever I junk a truck I tend to keep little things. It's not hard to change the key cylinders from one to another.

This is not a part number, it's an ID engineering number. No Ford part numbers marked on parts after 1956.

Your expertise is appreciated as always. I just don't like that you end so many of your sentences with the word "obsolete"....

I DID take the opportunity today to swap the unbroken (but heavily notched) passenger side cylinder to the driver's side. I filed the rod that extends from the pawl to smooth it prior to installing on driver's side. While I was at it I took out the latch assy and thoroughly cleaned and oiled it. Oiled up the handle button and it put it all back together. Works like new. SO much less resistance on the pawl now. I'll be doing the other (passenger) side as soon as my new regulator shows up. Ran out of time today and have evening plans anyways.
Thanks for checking on that part for me (again!!)

One of my neighbors has a 71 4x4 that is for sale as a parts truck. relatively cheap in my opinion, but I am close and no travel is involved.

Open your wallet and once the moths fly out, reach in and get your credit card, have it ready when you call.
Soeby Motors will probably be the cheapest, but closes for lunch, so you gotta call before or after.
