I saw Paul Spots post in another forum offering these lock kits. They are using the exact same locks I have been using and putting together for the past 20 years. The only thing different is they are using used original dust shields for anyone wanting them to look concourse correct down to the shutter door, but with the same cores I use. They are also using the staked caps for recoded door locks. These look fine when installed, but NCRS deducts points if the locks have been rekeyed and the cylinders do not have crimped on caps. I still have some coded pairs of NOS original door locks with staked on caps for those who want a perfect concourse set of locks. Just have to find them here.
It's nice to see other guys have picked up where I left off. I stopped offering these kits publicly about 15 years ago and used to sell a complete lock kit for $125 plus shipping back then. I only do them for people I know these days. It appears Paul is charging $60-$80 for the Ignition and Doors, and another $60-80 for the trunk and glove box. Here what they appear to be offering in terms of kits.

We have a good supply of original NOS 1969 ignition cylinders - both coded and uncoded. All 1969 GM cars use a square head "E" key and a oval or round "H" key. The E key was used for the ignition and doors locks. The H key is for the glove and trunk. GM repeated this code every 4 years. When new, the keys had knock outs with a 4 digit code. Some dealers "knocked" these out, some left them as is. We have both red line and non red line E coded ignition cylinders. From my research, the most common one is the red line. Correct door locks in 69 have a small notch in the shutter where the key enters. These are no longer made and most replacement door locks have a perfectly shaped rectangle(no notch). A true original or NOS door lock will be factory crimped as well. The key codes are also stamped on the door lock case. We do not have any of these door locks. We can, however, use available kits and use the notch shutter for correctness. These kits use a 4 tab retainer that is not seen when installed. So looks wise they will appear NOS. We will offer correct style 69 door and ignition sets with NOS "E" keys (with knock outs and codes) for $60 a set. Our part number will be PY106B69C. If you want your correct code and we have it, the price will be $80.00 a set. If we do not, we can make the set but keys will not have knock out or code and we can not guarantee the key blanks will be NOS. The current E and H key blanks and NOS ones are nearly identical.
On the glove and trunks - we only have the reproduction glove inserts and trunk locks, but same as the doors - we can use the notched shutter and supply NOS coded "H" key blanks Price on those kits will be $60.00 or $80 for your code. part number will be PY197C69
