No kids in the family or neighborhood that want an adventure? Easy enough to do if you can find someoone that fits - I hate drilling locks.
Old, tired, and sometimes broke down. Me, not my car...

with the back seat out do you have a straight line of sight to the bolts for the catch? If so several long 3/8 extensions/a swivel socket & some electrical tape around the swivel to keep the socket in line might do the trick. Never drilled one but it's doable (patience & a sharp quality bit). EDIT Shoozy nailed it, either a kid or a dwarf or a midget whatever is available

Never tried this on a B body, but I was able to make a long enough extension out of some flat stock to pop the lock from inside after I removed the rear seat in my old C body. I would also seriously consider getting a can of spray graphite lube for locks and try that before I drilled out my lock.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Tape a screw driver to a broom stick and use your flash light. Look for the screw driver slot just about in the middle of the lock mechanism. Just give it a turn and she will pop right open.

Been there done that. Broom handle and a screw driver work great. Trust me

280 lbs? Can you say youtube? We do what we have to and he did and still got out to tell us about it.
Just like a fish hook, went in easy, not much fun getting back out.
