locks on a '66

[greybadger]

my 66 has a handle on the back and a seprate lock in the lift gate...back window. all the replacement parts i have seen have a lock in the handle, does anyone know where i can get a replacement lock that isn't incorporated into the handle? thanks!

Check LMC Truck or Jeff's Bronco Graveyard for OEM products. Unless you have something that someone else put in, I have never seen a lock seperate from the lift gate handle. OEM drawings show the latch and lock incorporated in one unit. The only other thing I can think of is if you have a very early 66 and they did something different on it.

You should try to post a pic if you can. does the lock not work or do you just not have a key.

This was the original design on the early 66's. I have one with the same style top. I don't know of a source, but you might try a locksmith if it need repaired.

I came across a picture of the original concept Bronco and the lock was right where you guys are talking about. Got to talking with an EB expert here in town and he says they only offered that type of lock set up on the very early 66 model year. That later in 66 they went to the key intergrated with the latch like they are in newer models. He also said, good luck trying to find the parts to fix them, they are pretty rare. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
