Trying to buy a trailer, new wheels and tires, and house coming up so not in the cards right now.
Would cost about the same as an LS swap.

So I just noticed that neither of my sets of keys even fully go into either door lock but both work in the trunk. I am not an expert in this field so hoping you guys may have some advice... Can I remove both lock cylinders from the doors and just have them rekeyed to the existing door lock key? Easier to replace all the locks? Is it even possible to replace the trunk cylinder? Worst case I would need three keys but I would rather not.

I'm not sure if you can rekey the lock cylinder. I'd either find an old codger who's being doing it for decades and ask him or just replace all three cylinders with ones that use the same keys

The only thing with that is them the glove box will be different and not sure on the trunk one since it is in the emblem.

With the trunk you may need to locate a caddy restore site and that may come as a full assembly
glove box is easy, though. I never lock my glove box so that's not something I'd even worry about but that's just me
Take all cylinders to a lock smith and he can rekey them all to the same key. Did it with my 84 Caddy. As long as trunk is non motorized. Key tumblers in those old car are easy to re tumble. Also easy to break in to.

I didn't realize the ignition key was the door key also.
