Anyone here a locksmith?

I need to rekey my door locks on my old Willys Wagon, as I don't have a key to the doors.

I'd like to key the doors to use the same key as the ignition.

I took apart one of the door handles and removed the lock cylinder.  I was surprised to find that the cylinder uses plates for tumblers instead of pins.

I haven't been able to find anywhere online that sells tumbler plates, only pin kits.


Does anyone know where I might find these plates I'm in search of?

Am I going to have to take my lock cylinders to a locksmith?

I'd prefer to do it myself, since I understand how it works.  It's one of those things where since I know how to do it, I have a hard time paying someone else to do it for me... even if it's a nominal fee.

Thanks in advance...
