    I inserted key into the trunk lock on my 58 Ford Fairlane and the key and lock spin in a circle and will not unlock. Will spin just as easily clockwise or counter-clockwise.
    I have never had a problem with the trunk latch and the SOB worked fine literally 5 minutes before!

    Any thoughts would be greatly apprciated1

    something broke or fell off. take out back seat to get a look at backside of lock and go from there
     
  3. Will the tumbler come out with the key?

    Tumbler stays in the latch.
    I was hoping the problem was in the lock, but the pot metal arm off the lock shaft is broke.
    I will see if I can find one, or fab something up.
    Thanks.
