Title: 68 Camaro Trunk Lock
Post by: 68Zproject on November 02, 2008, 08:06:03 PM
I went to get a key made for my glove box as my trunk key didn't work.  Long story short, my trunk has a B key (1967 trunk key) for it instead of a D.  I suppose it could have been replaced, but some of the other parts on my car were 67 leftover parts and I wondered if any 68's got any 67 locks?  The glove box lock is a D, but that could have been changed easily too.  ???

I think the cylinders were interchangeable. Can't swear for a 68, but for earlier chevys I have several I rekeyed to use the same key everywhere, doors, glove box, trunk, and ignition.

What's the build date for your car?  I found the same problem for my trunk key on my 68.

05D.  Mine was one of the build dates that got 67 steering parts on it, so I wondered if anything else was used on it from 67.  The ignition keys fits the doors etc., but the trunk key didn't fit the glove box.  I found out why when I went to a locksmith to get a key for it, that the glove box was a D and the trunk a C.  I know it didn't leave the factory with three keys.  It would seem to be easier to change a glove box door or lock than a trunk one.  But that doesn't make it so.  Any other examples?
