Be careful what you get. If you buy one made overseas he may not be able to re-key it. The tumblers are not interchangeable with GM stuff on some of them.

Also if the new lock cylinder does not have the same keyway as your other locks he won't be able to do it. What year is your truck and Is there a letter stamped into your key? If your truck is a '71 it should be the letter "A".
