Door locks, trunk locks, ignition lock cylinders....

The ignition switch is one year only- but the rekeying/recoding procedure is the same.
While it may not apply to your particular situation, for others who may be reading this there are some differences over the years.
Early door locks ('65 and earlier?) were a different diameter than later door locks. While this doesn't affect rekeying, it means an early lock will not work in a later door- the hole is too big. Likewise, a late door lock will not fit in an early door unless you cut the hole larger. An electrician's Greenlee hole cutter works well for this, although hand filing or a Dremel will also work. All repros that I've seen have been the later large diameter locks; so if you're dealing with an early door lock, then rekeying/recoding is your only option.
Pairing of the keys also vary according to the years- '66 (maybe'67? or thereabouts) and earlier had door keys that matched the trunk style key. After that the door keys matched the ignition.
IIRC, there was a slight difference in years for the changeover in trucks vs cars, but they did follow suit (yes, I know trucks didn't have "trunk locks", but they had that style key which also fit the glove box lock if so equipped).
Just a little more info to pass along.


With all due respect, that isn't how the cylinders work- at least the ones supplied for use in the U.S.
The pins NEVER protrude from the cylinder barrel so there is nothing to gauge how much to file off. The springs may stick out if they haven't been distorted, but the paired pins seat against each other deep in the barrel with the spring on top, retained by the press-on cap.
Yep i thought mine might be different

mine in all respects Australian, except for the boot lock

but the gist of it is similar all of the bits that stop the barrel rotating when the key is out need to be out of the way when the key is in

their length and position when the key is in allows this rotation.
and there are a limited, number of ways you can fit them. if you can be bothered spending the time to work it out you can re key the lock.
