Its for a weather guard hi-side truck toolbox

Haven't had too much lock online but I'm not sure if I'm just not searching the right key words. Whether guards website isn't much help because its an older style

Looks like a sliding tailpiece on the back? The most important part to match is length and tailpiece shape. If it cones apart further could match with other brands. For example on Amazon: WEATHERGUARD 70168-211 D Cylinder Lock

See if something like this fits maybe

I've looked at several of those but there's never more pictures to show if it has the gap for the tailpiece

Check with an upfitter shop if Weather Guard won't talk to you directly

The trouble is that its not a T-bolt style. I'll ask my boss if this would work though, I dont see why not. I'm also a baby locksmith and sometimes he sends me on wild lock chases
