I bought a 84 and the drivers side door had the lock punched out. I found all the parts except the little rectangular piece that actuates the lock pushrod. I was wondering before I mess with just fabricating a new one if there are some options to get another one from a different model car, that I could possible find in the junkyard

Any ideas?????

*Bump*

Are you talking about the part that attaches to the back of the lock cylinder? If so, then they're interchangeable with many GM cars of the same era. If not, then try posting a picture of the part so we can see what you mean.

Here is a picture I found here on the forum of what I need to get my drivers door to unlock with the key

So you need the flat metal stamping that attaches to the lock cylinder at one end and the lock rod at the other end? If that's what you need I've got one I can send you. I will send you a PM to get your mailing address.

Ayup, they are somewhat different in some cases but as a rule they are just about all the same over all the GM vehicles of the decade and more. sometimes they can be different from one side to the other, but some of them can be swapped from one side to the other.
