Door lock cylinder replacment

Good evening everyone.

Today I was in the process of replacing the lock cylinders on my 86 f250. I had bought some new oem lock cylinders off ebay for the truck well I knew the truck has maybe 93 to 96 doors didn't realize that the locks were different I even saw the instructional on YouTube like 5 times making sure I had good idea what I was gonna do. Now to my question is it possible getting my lock cylinders that are for 85 to 91 trucks to work with the 92 to 96 doors linkage rod? Is it possible to get a linkage rods from a older truck and use on these doors?

As cheap as lock cylinders are, I'd suggest ordering a set that match whatever doors you have. I think that would be a LOT easier than trying to adapt the your mystery linkage to match your eBay lock cylinders.

Here's some info that may help. This is mostly about converting to single key operation, but some of the info should be of use to you:
