Anything of interest on the back of the lock?
They may be held in with a wafer on the side of the lock which "permanently" keeps them in. You may be able to defeat it with a shim, it's hard to say. I'm talking about something like this... the big wafer on the end is not actuated by the key. Instead it's depressed on install and pops back out in an internal groove in the cylinder, keeping the core in place.
The 55 glove box locks seem to have the same problem. Trunk and starter on those you can disassemble just fine but the glovebox is no bueno. I have a video on making a key for the 53-55 trunk locks here. Might be worth checking out just with the "preview slider" though I doubt there are any significant similarities.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdpoHrOsG04
