On most Ford trunk locks of that period you will need the key to remove the cylinder. With they key inserted turn the lock 90 depress and depress the pin that holds the cylinder in place. You may have to search for the pin. Most are in the front directly over the key slot a few are in the rear of the handle. Once you have the key at 90 degrees the lock cylinder should pull straight out.
