The style in the A-100s are the early cone style that are not able to be re-keyed. So you have a few choices: Buy NOS sets that have 4 door locks and an ignition cylinder Find a used set or 2 and have 1 or 2 keys Swap to later flat style locks that can be re-keyed. This may require some mods. As you can see, the early shown have a stud, the late have a hole. I know that the arm on the back pops off easily if you aren't careful! You can also see the removable cover on the later one that allows the pins to be changed (re-keyed). Here are pics I found with a quick search, and the sites that have them. NO inference made as to the sellers or prices.

Thanks for the reply- I had mix-matched locks before when the van was a daily driver and it had three or four keys for it and that is a pain. NAPA has an ignition lock/keys for $30 but nothing for the doors so I could make it run that way but I was hoping to attempt to fix the thing right. I guess my options are more limited than I was expecting.

Well, I went to a local locksmith and he fixed me up! Although I have the older cone shaped doorlocks he was able to rekey all the locks and ignition switch to one common key. This is basicly what I was trying to achive and the price was $55.25 and included 2 extra keys. Not bad. I guess it pays to look at all options. Thanks for all the replys, Dave

Glad it worked for you. The old school locksmith I tried, ended up destroying the early ones I gave him, and said it couldn't be done. You found a good locksmith Ran
