<VV> Trunk Lock Needed

[Paul Siano]

Frank, thank you very much for the information and the offer to help.
I am happy to report that I took it to a local locksmith...I watched and chatted with him as he fixed it.  (a tiny stamped piece of metal became dislodged which caused the problem)  We got along just fine and he didn't want any money after spending 40-45 minutes on it. I insisted on paying and we agreed to have lunch soon...we seem to have a lot in common.
My trunk lock is fixed and I made a friend.
I am a happy old man.
Thanks again,
Paul Siano

Paul,

If you send me your lock I will get the key out. Or at least find why it 
suddenly kept the key because of something broken.

The 66 trunk lock is all by itself, the 65 is a different cylinder, the 
67 to 69 will fit, but then you will have a big oval key, as they went 
away from the B-10 B-11 key series in 1967.

Was your trunk keyed the same as all the locks, same as the glove box 
lock, or keyed to nothing else?

Let me confirm, the key turned and never returned fully to the at rest 
position, and this is why the key will not pull out.
