Installed driver door lock on 60
I'd found a matching door look for the drivers door about a year ago and finally got it put in. I needed to get some cutting wheels for the dremel. Looks like a factory install. It was missing the pins and the cover that holds the pins in for the key to work. I took the ones out of the passenger side and put into the drivers side, works great. That was my weekend project.

A decent old school locksmith probably would have the parts needed to rebuild the lock and key it to match your other one. One of mine popped the cover off when I had it out and I lost a couple of the tiny springs. There's an old locksmith shop near my house I went to and they gave me some new springs and cover. They had boxes of parts and figured they would never use them all anyway. I never could get the cover to stay on tho, so I slipped a piece of large diameter heat shrink tubing over it and shrunk it down to hold the cover on. Worked like a charm!
