door lock unit and bezel part number

[Dave F.]

Is door lock unit part number 3932975 interchangable with any other model years? I seem to be missing one and wondered if this was unique to 1968. Also I have the same question for the bezel, part number 9716320.

Both the lock and the bezel were unique to 1968 Corvettes. The lock, GM #3932975, was never available in SERVICE from GM. Instead, an uncoded lock of GM #3936223 was the SERVICE part. It was also unique to 1968 Corvettes.

Well these are tricky to find according my online search of all the usual sources this morning, deepening my love for 1968 . Any ideas guys?

I have a 68 coupe and had to buy a lock set this year. You will not find them in any catalogue. I bought mine from Piper Auto but they had a major fire earlier in the year. Don't know what it did to inventory or availability. They had one in stock (used, but in great shape) and I had it within a few days. It was expensive. Their web address is: http://www.pipersauto.com/ and you can get their contact information there. The only other way is through salvage yards.

Good luck.

Thanks Chuck. That is one source I had forgotten about, but it has been about 4 years since I've had to chase parts and I changed computers since then also (lost some bookmarks). Much appreciated.
