The aftermarket tumblers are junk. Its the best that is available new, but the quality is just not like oem. The wafers and mechanism on an original tumbler can be repaired rebuilt. If you dont have a locksmith locally, use Jessers. He has been in business for years in the old car and truck hobby and a long time advertiser in Hemmings, and use to be at some of the larger AACA shows years ago although I think he has slowed down. So get a decent used original tumbler and here is the website for Jessers. Any chance you have the original tumbler? If you want to have the key set up so that one key fits all the locks, and your door key fits both doors, you might consider pulling one of the door locks and see if you can find a four digit code on the lock. If so, jessers can set your tumbler up to use all one key, doors and ignition.

Next, get either a decent used original or nos or rnos switch, usa made and not new manufactured. There were quite a few good after market companies that sold replacement electrical parts and some of them were pretty good: Valley Forge, Shur-it, Eschlin, Wizzard, Filko, Western. You are looking for parts made in the usa better then 20 years ago I would think.
