Only custom cabs had locks on both sides.
The logical solution is to install an alarm and put in power lock actuators. Or, you can buy a set of new lock cylinders which sometimes come with a template for adding a lock to the driver's door.

My '59 only came with a lock on the passenger's side, but I bought an extra lock, flipped the template and installed it on the driver's side so I'd have a lock on both doors.

My 60 custom cab does have locks on both side as angus said. Unfortunatly for me they don't work with the one key I have that fits my ignition. O well it should be easy enough to just pop some new ones in. Not really worried about anyone steeling it yet.

Larry,
I hear ya there... I have one key for the ignition, a separate key for the passenger's side and yet a third key for the driver's side! Needless to say, I can't wait to get my power door locks installed.

Erik,
You do know that you can still lock your door even though there's no keyed lock outside, don't you?
All you have to do is push down on the interior door handle, and hop out the passenger's side. Then you can lock that door with the key.
This only works if the door is already closed.

Door Locks
You can get new sets of lock cylinders with the door and ignition keyed alike from places like So-Cal Pickups. Considering how worn the locks can get after 40 years, replacing them is a good idea anyway. The ignition key would sometimes fall out of the 1960 Merc when I was driving on rough roads; fortunately the keys never fell through any of the holes in the floor.
