Door Locks on a 56

Hey guys,

I was just curious. My 56 has a door lock on the passenger door that has a cover that swivels to expose the lock. My driver door has no keyhole whatsoever. I noticed this when I bought it, but now its really starting to plague my mind. Is this normal???

Mike

Lack of a door lock on the drivers side was common. Mine is that way too. The idea was you got in from the curb side where it's safer. No doubt cheaper from Ford, too. For anybody in the know, was a driver's side lock an option?

The Custom Cab option included the driver's side door lock, otherwise you only got one on the passenger side.

Mine only has the pass door lock... in fact, I spent part of today wrestling with it because it's on it's last legs. Thank God for Mid Fiftys.
