Is it possible to re-key the door locks myself? Currently the ignition and door locks appear to use different keys... I can't lock my doors!

Also, I have found the www.mrgusa.com site for trim clips but cannot find the clips to hold the upper body 'stripe' trim. Please help!

The link provided by Daliant is applicable only to '66-up lock cylinders. The '60-'65 cylinders are much more difficult to open and work with, and much more difficult to get parts for. If you're looking to buy new, that's a difficult and costly lock set to find these days. Occasionally they go by on eBay, or from one of the "usual suspects" in overpriced maybe-you'll-get-it, maybe-it'll-be-as-described NOS parts (such as the outfit in Georgia or the one in Washington). Interchange is '60-'65 A-body plus '62-'65 B-body.

Unless you're building a 100-point trailer queen, I'd simply enlarge the door lock holes and install the easy-to-buy, inexpensive, more-secure, easier-to-rekey '66-up door locks. They can be bought as a set of three (left and right door + ignition) all keyed alike.
