Superhart, A few years ago I did something similar to what you did. I put the key lock on the drivers side and removed the inside sliding lock mechanism from the drivers side latch and transferred it to the passenger side. I left the slider on the inside upholstery panel for the drivers side (which is for looks only) and bought a second upholstery slider for the passenger side. Now when I'm driving alone in the truck I can get out and lock up the truck without going around to the passenger side. MUCH more convenient.
