i would think a locksmith would be able to get one. the one here in town sells them for bed crossover toolboxes.

any hardware store should sell locks. I had to get one for my old truck and went to Home Depot for it.

just get a lock from lowes/home depot, they are for drawers, but work just fine, since its the same type of lock.

I was thinking about a regular lock, but was just wondering about a repro of factory lock. Thanks guys

thats what i was talking about. was the factory replcements. they are normal locks that can be replaced with modern day locks. not a hasp and a padalock. a regular cylinder type lock. from a locksmith. is where i got my crossover box locks. same as what you want.

Excellent. I just bought a sweet bed from a 68 F100 and it's lock is also ruined. However I have another question. I am mounting this box on my 67 F250 4x4, will there be a interferance problem? On first glance it looks like it will fit but I never see that toolbox on 4x4's. Just wondering.

I installed the box from a 69 f100 and the tool box wouldn't clear. Had to install a body lift, so i put 3". Don't know if less would work.

What does it hit on? Can I modify the toolbox and do without the lift?

The tool box will hit on the spring perch. You could probably modify the tool box, by cutting a section out of it.

correction spring hanger, not perch.
