My Duster doesnt have a key for the trunk and I have an NOS trunk lock and key and obviously my 250 lb butt isnt crawling into the trunk to open it from the inside. 68 Valiant 408 69 Charger 318 69 Cougar 351W 70 Torino GT 351C 71 Country Squire 351W 71 Road Runner 440+6 71 Satellite sedan 318 73 Duster 318 73 Challenger 383 77 Grand Prix 455 83 Malibu 9C1 383 84 Delta 88 403 87 Grand National 96 Ram 360 09 Crown Vic 10 Challenger R/T M6 15 Challenger Hellcat M6

Last one I did was a really rough '59 Dodge...no keys to the car and had to get it open for Customs/Quarantine in Oz, so out came the drill... But have done it with a bunch of extensions taped together like Stumpy mentions in the past too. 7220429-7209442-OzDrillFaster.gif (76 downloads)

Slip it into the latch slot & turn. Or use an angle grinder and cut a hole in the trunk lid, so you can reach in with a screw driver and do the same. Up to you which way you think is more fun...Barry's or mine.

Slip it into the latch slot & turn. Done it a bunch of times, if you have to, and are not fat like me, just take the back seat out and crawl in there with a screwdriver, better yet get you wife...

Stuff him or her through the back seat and tell them when they come out they get a $5.00 dollr bill. You will have lots of volunteers. O Or drill the tumbler out and use a flat screwdriver to open the latch.. I am truckless..
