GROUP,
I HAD JUST GOT A 37 CHEVY TRUCK LOCKING DOOR HANDLE OFF E-BAY. AND I NEED A KEY FOR IT. BECAUSE IT DID NOT COME WITH ONE. SO I WENT TO A REPUTABLE LOCK SHOP TO GET A KEY MADE. THE NUMBER STAMPED ON THE HANDLE SHAFT IS # 4494. THEY COULDN'T HELP. THEY SAID THAT NUMBER DOES NOT COME UP IN THERE SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD MOST OF THE LOCKS WERE MADE BY BRIGGS AND STRATTON. AND BRIGGS AND STRATTON USED 8OOO & 9000 SERIES NUMBERS. AND USED A SINGLE CUT KEY. THE LOCK IN THIS ONE HAS A DOUBLE CUT OR DOULBLE BITTED STYLE OF KEY???? I TOLD THE KEY SHOP IT WAS FROM A 37 CHEVY TRUCK. NOW I FOUND OUT IN MIGHT BE FROM A 34-35 CHEVY FROM AN OLDER POST HERE. WHICH USED A DIFFERANT NUMBER CODING. IF IT IS FROM A 34-35 CHEVY CAR OR TRUCK,........WHO KNOWS. DO I GO BACK AND TELL THEM IT'S NOT FROM A 37. IT'S FROM A 34-35 CHEVY CAR OR TRUCK. AND MAYBE SOMETHING DIFFERANT WILL SHOW UP ON THERE COMPUTER. THE APPEARANCE AND SIZE/MEASUREMENTS ARE THE SAME AS THE 37 TRUCK HANDLE WHICH I NEED. I REALLY DON'T THINK ANYBODY HAS EVER HAD THE HANDLE APART. OR CHANGED OUT THE LOCK CYLINDER. CAN ANYONE FROM THE GROUP HELP ME. OR TELL ME WHAT TO DO.
THANKS
SAM

1934 was the only year of that era that had double sided keys. Betting you have a '34 handle.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

Sam, try to return the lock and look for a CORRECT 37 lock. The one you have isn't correct and may not even work on a 37 truck.

Look at your G&D under services. There is a guy named Jarvis out of Washington that is a lock specialist. Good luck.

If it will help, I will remove the door handle with lock from my ”˜37 1/2 Ton and take some measurements for you. I have a busy next several days, so it might take a day or two for me to get to it. Just let me know. It might help in searching for a correct fitting handle. These locking handles are scarce and usually pricey.
