1964-1965 Chevelle Door Lock Cylinder Pawl (LH)
The 1964-1965 Chevelle Door Lock Cylinder Pawl (Left Hand) is a factory-correct, stamped steel restoration piece engineered for the driver side of your first-generation classic. The pawl is the small, specialized lever bracket that mounts directly onto the back tail of the exterior door lock cylinder. When you turn your key from the outside, this lever physically rotates to trip the internal linkages of your door latch mechanism, safely locking or unlocking the vehicle. Because these tiny brackets are frequently lost or damaged during vehicle teardowns, sandblasting, or repainting, swapping in a fresh replacement ensures crisp, predictable security.
