85 4runner lock set

I recently bought a 85 4runner with mismatched door tailgate and ignition locks.
Does anyone know of a set for sale that I can use to replace all the locks on my vehicle? Any help will be appreciated

I would look into buying an aftermarket set. Toyota didn't really make enough different key setups, and they make for really easy burglary. I've already had two friends of mine with similar year toyota's go up to mine, unlock the door, and crank it up with their key!

back in high school i had 4 friends with 2nd gen pickups and runners and when we wanted to mess with each other we would take our keys and open up each others trucks and move them around in the parking lot for a good laugh. once i even took my buddies 86 sas runner and parked it flexing on a picnic table in the middle of the quad..

needless to say it was quite funny..
but sad how toyotas can be opened and started using one side of scissors

Hit the boneyard and get the matching locks (f/r) from an '84-89 4Runner. There is a code on the lock mechanism. My '81 did not have a key for the doors, for $10 or $15 the local locksmith was able to make a key for me with the code. Just had to bring in the tumblers...

clean turbo runner btw, good find..

Hmmm I didnt think about the junk yard. I have heard of many instances of the same key opening multiple trucks.
Does anyone know of a company that makes a lock set?

Btw the turbo will be for sale soon. I got myself a 85
