So on the '72 Ambassador I recently picked up, every single one of the exterior panel locks were severely damaged by the previous owners. It spent the last few years being a camp trailer for Burning Man attendees who, from the look of things, used various screwdrivers to pry the locks open when they needed access (I'm just glad the entry door wasn't locked).
Amusingly, while I've been working on cleaning all the dust and debris from the interior, I came across what appears to be the keys, but even the best of the locks doesn't respond to them. I managed to get the battery tray door lock to pop open, but haven't had any luck with the rest. The panels are in good shape, so I'd like to avoid prying on them to get access.
Any recommendations on the best way to get the locks to open up? If they weren't so utterly destroyed I'd get one of my tow truck buddies to give a try at picking them, but I think I'm going to have to resort to more direct measures.
If need be, I can get some photos of the various locks to give you an idea of what I'm dealing with.
