Door, trunk, fuel and rear storage lock replacement kit?

Good afternoon all! New member here seeking some advice on a complete lock replacement kit for a 1986 Firebird. I can find a 3 lock set for the doors and trunk as well as a 2 lock set for the fuel door and rear storage compartment, but nothing that covers all 5 locks. Looks like Firebird Central used to offer a kit, but it has been discontinued. Are there any other vendors that you all would recommend? Try to avoid have 2 separate keys to open things up.

Thanks!

I would honestly contact the Chevy dealer. If the cylinders are still available, they come depend so you can make your own combination and make one key work for everything.

For my rear storage compartment, I pulled the lock cylinder and took it, along with the key to a local locksmith. The "young" guy behind the counter had no clue what I needed done. The "Old" grumpy guy from the back office knew what I needed and taught the "Young" guy how to rekey the cylinder. Cost? maybe $25 or so..

I removed the "arm" on the latch/lock for the "trunk storage" where I keep my cleanup supplies, etc. no need for me to keep it locked.

I think I saw a full set on Classic Industries years ago.

Thanks guys. Checked with the local Chevy dealer and they couldn't do anything for me. So I just went ahead and ordered a 3-cylinder door/trunk lock kit from Classic Industries.
