Post by karmannkarmann »

Hi guys im new on here and are the new owner of 1984 T25 firetruck. Been offered a complete lock set from a late one but the firetruck is an early one, are all the locks compatible? need to know about the ignition, cab doors, sliding door, petrol cap and rear hatch?

The rear hatch lock is definitely different.

I think the barrels will be the same.As early and late keys look identical.

Having messed around with an early tailgate lock the barrel was part of the push button and they are definitly different so I'd say no they cannot be used in both
