Answer
Hi Mike,
While I don't have experience with that Lebaron body (convert, while I have a coupe) I believe that you may be able to gain access to the trunk from behind the back seat after its removal and then go behind the slingwell area where the top is normally stored. You could join the yahoo auto group called theChryslerlebaronclub and get a definitive answer from one of our members who has convert and has taken it apart. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/thechryslerlebaronclub/
Give that a try before doing anything destructive of the body.
If worse comes to worse you can force the lock cylinder into the trunk from outside, but why do that if not necessary.
