Ignition switch

I would like to replace my 66 ignition switch and door locks with those of a 67.

Can it be done?

Im not sure, but my best guess is door locks shouldnt be an issue...Im not sure though if a 67 up type tumbler will work in the earlier ignition switch. My hesitance is with the ign. sw. bezel as Ive never seen a 67 type so I dont know.

The ignition switch is the same 1961/67 (C7UZ-11572-A), so the 1967 double sided ignition cylinder w/keys can be used.

But the 1967 door latches and door lock cylinder and keys are 1967 only.

In fact 1967's are also different than 1968/72. 1967 is a one year door, with a completely different locking mechanism than 1968/72's use.
1968/72's use a door lock ****, 1967's do not.

Thanks for the info.

I had hoped that I could use both. The same key fits the ignition and door locks on my 67.

That truck is not roadworthy so I figured I would swap them.

I never got a key for the doors on the 66 so I can't lock the doors.

Oh well I guess its time for a salvage yard search.

door/ignition cylinder & key lock sets-keyed alike.

You can buy a new door and ignition lock set for your 1966.

It's been reproduced by Dearborn Classics: $44.95

Original FoMoCo part number: C3AZ-6222050-B .. Lock Set

Dearborn Classics part number: DLS104 /dearbornclassics.com / catalog page 71.

Your truck uses the same (single sided key) lockset as:

1961/66 F100/350 / 1961/64 Galaxie / 1960/65 Falcon / 1962/65 Fairlane / 1966/67 Bronco / 1965/66 Mustang.

The trucks aren't listed among the applications at Dearborn, because they sell Ford Galaxie, Falcon, Fairlane & other car parts.
But, the lock set for your truck is the same as these cars used.
