[WANTED] Wanted trunk lock assembly for 70 Duster

[GTX JOHN]

The one on my 70 Duster Street/Strip car is stuck and I
am tired of crawling thru the darn trunk.

Do the make a new lock assembly or do I need a good used one?

The key turns but not enough travel in the old one anymore to open the trunk.

If you mean the part that bolts to the inside of the trunk, I think I have one from a 74 Duster that I had, will that work on a 70?

Since it is a race car, take all of the pins, spacers and springs out of the cylinder that is what I did.

You should be able to get one at NAPA John.

It's a new trunk lock kit for a 70 Valiant. The only difference between that and a 70 Duster is the link between the lock and the latch mechanism. Links for different body styles are included, or you can just reuse your old link.

I do that on a lot of my cars but the problem is that it no longer turns quite far
enough to release the latch.

But that is good advise on the race cars!

I really appreciate all you guys advise.
Anything to do with body stuff is beyond my
understanding.

Thanks!!
