Tailgate lock with key

[johns2000]

Anybody know where I can get one or what could be substituted?

Thanks

Wagon?  I've looked for a long time...no repops...bought a whole tailgate just to get a decent lock assembly.  Getting ready to ship it off for restoration.

Do you need the whole assembly or just the tumbler and key?

[johns2000]

Just the tumbler may work but like whole assembly.

Not sure if the tumbler is same as a sedan trunk lock's tumbler, but classic auto parts in OKC sells those.

Thanks, if anyone knows of the whole assembly let me know.

Check the "for sale classifieds here. Gunther just posted somebody's ebay ad for what you're looking for.

Rich. that is a tailgate handle I posted. on a wagon the lock assembly is a separate, teardrop shaped part. I believe that's what is wanted here. Unfortunately I did not see that part up for sale.

not the best pic, but we get the picture. Obviously the lock assembly is a hard to find part, that is not getting reproduced.
