**too much stuff** · 11-13-2009, 11:07 PM

Picked these up at a yard i visited today. I thought they were unusual. No keyslot...
Sorry for the fuzzy pics, they looked better on the camera.

msgross · 11-13-2009, 11:40 PM

don't these those on many/ any trucks... hmmm...

Longhorn Man · 11-13-2009, 11:42 PM

i wonder if it was a blazer thing... the door windows could be deleted on them

71swb4x4 · 11-13-2009, 11:48 PM

Very cool find!! What kind of vehicle were they on?

UltraBlue71 · 11-14-2009, 02:14 AM

I'll be, I wonder if they were for fleet vehicles, who knows?

mbgmike · 11-14-2009, 02:34 AM

I have never seen them on fleet vehicles. I drove alot of fleet vehicles back then and why any vehicle had these is news to me. Maybe it the for runner for the new vehicles w/o the right side door locks today

Maybe they were on prison trucks.

UltraBlue71 · 11-14-2009, 02:41 AM

I was thinking so you could not lock the keys inside, why a prison truck?

**John Fabris** · 11-14-2009, 03:12 AM

Thats a first for me too... I think those are pretty sweet!!!

mbgmike · 11-14-2009, 11:19 AM

I don't know. The prisons where I grew up used to let the trustees drive the pickup trucks into town to go to the hardware stores and such. I just thought maybe they did not want them to be able to lock the doors. It was just an idea. Seems like a waste of time putting them in. Who would have a reason not to be able to lock a truck or car?

You can't lock the keys inside one of these trucks, if you try to shut the door with it locked, it will pop up when the door is closed.

(I wonder how many people will now go outside and try it

)

Lippyp · 11-14-2009, 12:38 PM

Would the military have doors with no locks on the outside? Would have to be something that spent its life either in use or locked in a secure compound/site or something that nobody would want to nick.

jeffspower · 11-14-2009, 02:11 PM

Well- I doubt if too much stuff just found them on the ground. How abouts wees asks him what he removed them from?

That would be kind of easy, wouldn't it?
A couple guys are on the right track.
Clue: they are gm. One from a 69, and one from early 70s...

67ChevyRedneck · 11-14-2009, 05:17 PM

I'm going to guess that it's a passenger side only thing?

Mercury694 · 11-14-2009, 05:40 PM

I'd say that the army may have vehicles without locks. It would have to be a fairly big customer or market to have a use-specific part made. (if it was cars, I may think taxi's)

screamin_c10 · 11-14-2009, 05:46 PM

I thought up until the CUCV that the military used dodge trucks?

Im throwing in with LHM, Part of window delete option on blazers.

Shyguy · 11-14-2009, 07:05 PM

My '77 GMC tilt cab dump truck has one on the passenger side.

The passenger side is locked from the inside and the driver's side is locked with a key.

We have a winner! One truck also has a 427 in it. (probably a tall deck)
