swapping key lock units

[Dylan Jenkins <dylan@vt.edu>]

Hello list.....

I may not get all the lingo correct here, so please be patient. This
question regards the interchanging of guts, i.e., metal peice/spring sets
between key locks units. The car is an 85 4kq. The car was wrecked,
repainted and driver's door replaced. I kept the old driver's door with the
intention of swapping entire lock units from old door to new. However, on
the old door lock, the chrome cover peice, spring hatch, and end of pot
metal lock body was destroyed, consequently, I can not do a simple swap of
entire unit. The individual metal peice/spring sets inside the old lock are
all in good condition, and sets are located as follows:

ASCII key lock unit image:

  |   |   |   |   |       |
|===============================|
| $   $   $   $   $   $   $   $ |  <--{insert key here} 
|===============================|
                      |       |

"|$" represents location of metal peice/spring sets (8 sets total)

The question is, before I go to the trouble of pulling the lock in the new
door, I need to know if the locations of all the "|$"'s are the same between
locks. If so, I can replace the individual peices and use one key for the
car. If not, I'll need two keys for the car (or do what I'm doing now:
unlocking passenger door and unlocking driver's door from inside).

TIA,
