The type of locks that I have questions on started with the column style lock beginning in 1970. I have attached a picture of some locks. Lock #1 is from a 1970 Sport Satellite with the non Rally dash and has a satin finish that is similar to the dash switches. My first question is - were the satin finish locks used after 1970 and if yes till what year? Lock #2 is from a 1970 GTX with the rally dash and has a shiny chrome finish. Lock #3 is unknown and also has a shiny finish but no thumb tab on the knob. My second question is - what year did they remove the thumb tab as shown on lock #3 ? Thanks! MJ

Agreed 100%, Also the shift lever is a satin finish if equipped as such . Original satin finish ignition cylinders are EXTREMELY tough to find #2 is the chrome replacement is the superseded part #3 as to WHEN the thumb tab was removed,,,,,,,Ive no idea PS, the turn signal lever is satin finish from 1968 thru 1970. ,,same goes for the column shift levers if so equipped
