CHEVY - CHEVROLET  DOOR AND TRUNK LOCK KITS - Part Number 199
Comes with Pear Head keys and U shaped pawl. Door kits come with lock pawls. The Pawl is the small bracket which attaches to the end of the door cylinders. The pawl is what actually reaches in and trips the latch for the floor to unlock. In 1955-57 two completely different pawls were installed according to body styles. The U shaped pawl, which is the most common, and the Flat egg shaped pawl. The higher located body side moldingson some 1956 models forced GM to move the door lock cylinder higher up on the door. This is why many of the 1956 models used the Flat pawl and a different door latch assembley. In 1958-64 two different styles and lengths of door cylinders were used. The 2-doorhardtop and convertible models used the long cylinder, with 4-door and sedan models using short cylinders. When possible it is best to check the old original door locks for a specific cylinder style and pawl requirement.
