    I grabbed a side door lock off of eBay to replace the one I have that's coming apart. I thought the same lock was used from 64 to 70, turns out I was wrong.

    Just so y'all don't make the same mistake, here they are side by side.

    Inside handles are different, no way to mix up 1st and 2nd Gen
    window regulators or side and rear door latches,,,,,,

    The major difference is the shaft that the inside door handle goes on,,,,,,Is it the smaller fine spline 1st Gen that uses a set screw to hold it on or is it the bigger courser spline 2nd Gen that has a groove for the horseshoe clip to hold the handle on? And then the rear door latch does not have an inside handle or shaft,,,,,you are trapped inside,,,,so that 1st Gen you show is for the rear door,,,,only the outside handle goes into it, you find them on the rear doors,,,,that one you call a 2nd gen, also has the outside handle going into it but it also has a provision for an inside handle and you find them on a side door....they probably fit either door.......
