Factory toolbox option - lock? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am still looking at a 69 Long Fleet 3/4 ton that has a built in toolbox on the passenger lower front bedside. Somebody on here told me that was a factory option. The locking mechanism is missing. Are they the same as the door locks? If not, are they available anywhere?

My Cheyenne has the factory toolbox and the lock seems to be the same as the door locks but has a "tab" attached to it much like you would see in a cabinent lock.

My lock was stuck when I bought my truck, I brought it to a keysmith, and 30 minutes later it was fixed. The key guy was just a regular shop guy, and he replaced the whole deal, so I assume it is a pretty standard lock.
If possible, I would love to see a picture of the toolbox with the door open, so I can see how the thing mounts in there, mine does not sit in there right, it was removed and put back in in 1985, and has set wrong since, but I cant figure what correct is.
