Dave,
The general consensus is that you don't want to exit the truck into
traffic, so when its locked you'll exit onto the sidewalk. Don't know if
the GMC had a provision for locks on the drivers side or not. We've
discussed this on the list many time before and some more info can be
obtained from the archives.
