replacing ignition and door locks

Hey everybody, I just bought a '72 F-100 and it didn't come with any keys. I got a new lock set but I can't figure out how to get the ignition cylinder out or the door panels off. Any advice?

Scheol Welcome to FTE and the 67-72 forum

I am hesitating, and am gonna say in your case you might be better to go to a locksmith. You will need a key to get the ignition cylinder out. May be that the locksmith could make you a couple of keys and you would be back in bidness again.

Thanks for the welcome. The truck was sitting in a field for the last two years and the previous owner lost the keys. I guess I'll call a locksmith tomorrow and have him make some new keys. At least now I don't have to take the doors apart.
