Jim, locksmith prices vary a lot, but this past week I had an Ignition cylinder lock rekeyed to match the doors and trunk of my recently aquired '63 Convertible . . . $18 including an new key.  Thought it was pretty fair.

Tried the "jiggle key" method to try to take it apart but I can't find a key that will do the trick.  I will probably purchase a replacement from the vendor, but would like to have the trunk key match. Does anyone on the list happen to know why the '66 and up locks are different?  Must be a different design for the trunk lock?Also, has anyone paid a locksmith to re-key a trunk lock to match the new glovebox lock?  I'm betting that will cost me a bit.  Just exploring my options to fix it.Jim
