    Huddy, have you checked with Al Safrahn? He's had many '41-'47 parts cars.

    I found some in the past at a local HotRod shop that were universal and almost Identical. Shaft too long but fit just like original. Might check your local HotRod place down there,

    Huddy42, you are welcome. I bought a pair from this ad a couple months ago for my PUs that were missing locks. I believe there were 10 locks available at that time. I was excited when I first saw the ad. For years it seemed I was always one step behind someone else buying a lock, and none had any keys. Good luck.

    If you have a good lock a real locksmith can make keys for it . About the same price as the one on Ebay probably

    I had a local locksmith make keys for my 47 at $5 ea. He also came to my house and made a key for my 33 locking gas cap, charged a bit more for that though. He was there an hour (it was rusted on), and charged $40. Works great now though...

    When the locksmith came to the house to make one ignition key for my PU it cost $65. The door lock was missing at the time. Now I have a door lock and key for both trucks. I'm a happy camper. That reminds me, my Dads 46 had a camper shell. Don't know if I want to go that route.
