On a 60-66 the door lock should have a bit of detent when you lock/unlock by pushing handle forward right? The driver's door lock seems to work, but doesn't really click into place. The passenger's door is a lot better.
Also, is there an easy way to make it so you can lock driver's door and then close it?
I know you can get tumblers for everything matching key, but I want to do something in the mean time.

Driver side gets used more, have you tried lubricating it?

Good suggestion Woogeroo it works by friction and they do wear. Or it could need adjustment for the reason I mentioned.

I dont have a door key. So what i do when i want to lock up the truck it is lock pass door from inside. Roll up drivers door glass, leave vent window open. Shut door. Reach in through vent to lock door, then close vent. Most people wont notice the vent window unlocked. And if they do, wont know how to unlock door anyhow. Ive been meaning to get a door key setup, about 2 years ago. headscratch
