i have a 91 single cab long bed w350 and i am have been having trouble with my passenger side door lock not unlocking at the lach, so im trying to see about replacing it but am having some trouble finding them just like any other part on these old trucks. i was wondering if anyone knew where i can find door locks?
thanks

 

Do you need the latch or the lock actuator?

Latches are no longer availible so head for the junkyards.... Gassers and ramchargers use the same body parts we do. The actuators might still be availible via the aftermarket.

 

im pretty sure its the latches, which ya i figured i would end up going to the junkyard but i was hoping i didn't, cause its hard to find and old vehicle like that round here that isn't being used haha

 

If you mean the key door lock cylinders....

Here you go. Just put these in the 93, work good.

My dad messaged him and talked him into just selling the door locks.

But a new igntion wouldn't be a bad idea either becuase they go bad in the dodges and having a 1 for all matching key is nice

 

If it's the cylinder try spraying some penetrating oil in it. Mine binds up every couple months and won't work. Spray a little lube in there and work it for a few minutes locking and unlocking it and it'll be good to go for a while. Assuming the problem is the cylinder of course.

I have found with my truck that over the years things have gotten right stiff from dirt and grime getting stuck in the cylinder as well as the door latch. What really helped a lot was taking the whole deal right out of the door and soaking it in some varsol over night and cleaning it up and lubing it a little the next day and throwing it back in there.

 

ya i wish it was the lock cylinder but its the latch, i was wondering if there was a way to put one from a 94-95 one on there?

 

gonna have to be a cannibal to get a door latch....I know..... Just finished installing a new to me latch on the passenger side. When I came across a member parting out a truck, I got both latches...... just in case.

 

Here is a look inside your door.

And here is your latch, I gave mine a good cleaning and then regreased them.

Jim,

I was looking at your thread called "Inside out Doors" and your power lock actuator looks different than the one I pulled out of mine last night. Has yours been replaced? I assume mine is stock but I don't know for sure. Anyway my actuator is toast and I need a new one. Anybody know where to get one? I can't find them listed at Rockauto, or any of the big chain parts store online sites.
