door lock missing

I am putting my 58 back together after it's new paint job. I thought I had everything in separate bags but can not find the passenger side outside door lock. I have the retainer. I have heard that only ones made especially for the retractable will fit. Is this true?

Thanks Dale

The 58 retractable uses the same lock as all other 58 Fords. The 57 have a retractable only door lock because it is positioned in the side trim. Hope this information will help.

Thanks, I will try to find a replacement if the original does not turn up under or in something in the garage.

New ones are available at most vendors.
BTW; 57 locks are the same except for the flip cover.

Same locks, not the same key cut combo.
