'91 power doors on '79 cab - outside lock issue - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi there, I just purchased a '79 K20 (my first squarebody - woohoo!). The PO switched the front clip and doors with a '91 Suburban.

However, there is no lock for the outside of the door. I took the panel off and it looks like the actuator is there, but not lined up with the hole. I'm not sure if it needs to, but... I'm trying to figure out if all I need are the door lock cylinders, or something else? I did an advance search already and didn't find any threads that discuss this.

I found this set at Advance, but I'm not sure how this connects to the actuator. Anyone else know?
