i just got the SA today that ive been waiting so long to get and i have a full lockset from an 84 GSLSE and i was wondering if theyd be compatible? also, the lock thats in the gas door wont unlock haha so how can i open the thing? i checked for some sort of sfaety switch like the 84 has but i found nothing. would it be possible to do a swap so it has the style gas door as the 84 with the safety switch minus the lock and everything?

 

i got the gas door open, now i just need to know if the lockset is compatible and if i can switchout the gasdoor for an 84 style one.

 

anyone?

 

The lockset should work, with the ignition lock being the only one I cannot say for sure. But don't quote me on that. I believe the door locks are all the same, as are the hatch locks. I have no info about the ignition locks. VB cataloge lists 79-82 as using the same inition key and tumbler set, but does not list anything for 83-85. Not listing in there for door or hatch keylocks either.

I think the fuel door is a totally different size, requiring cutting out the quarter panel of both, and welding the newer style into place. SA's use one with a keylock, but any key that will go in, will unlock it if I remember correctly.
