Door lock cylinder differences




I am switching everything over from my original doors to the new doors on y 96 f250 crewcab. Everything is going well but my door lock cylinder from my 96 will not fit the donor door which I believe is a 95 f350.

They definitely are not the same but the plastic finger that the rod goes on look like they would reach the same distance. I do not have the key to the donor lock . They look the same but mic out a little different. Do I have to massage the door hole or what . thanks

The one on the left is the 96 and the other is the donor

Might be that someone rigged it to work?

I found some pictures that outline the various door lock cylinder types for the OBS trucks.

Thanks warren that helps. My drivers cylinder is garbage also so I guess I will look into new cylinders for the column and the doors from an 89-96 since that is what the doors are.
