Can someone tell me how to remove the glove box lock cylinder on a 68 GTO? I know the case will unscrew once the cylinder is out. Just can get the cylinder to release.
Thanks in advance

there is a little brass button you need to push on the back side right at the glove box door ,,, its at the 3 oclock position
kinda hidden in a little notch of the outer case ,,,
poke your paper clip in there and push it gently ... at the same time wiggle the tumbler out...

Is there any way to get that cylinder matched to the other proper key? I have the original ignition, doors and trunk cylinders ... but have a donor glove box lock.

nice job ...!!

data .... is your trunk lock original , ? it will have a code stamped in the side ,,,

then a qualified locksmith may/should/ could pull your glove box lock apart,,, its like workin on a watch ,,,,almost,,,
and do some wafer swapin ...youlle be payin by the hour ,,,probably ...

Yep, trunk lock is original. Thank you, I'll have to give that a try when I get sick of using a separate key ... not that I ever once in my life have ever locked the glove box
