I agree, a locksmith can do it easily. A problem I had
was that the door locks were worn and he needed the ignition lock to make a
key. Actually, on our cars it's easier to get the ignition switch out and
back in than the door lock.
Not sure about the "lovebox lock" I've been looking for
that key for a long time! LOL

Hi Bob,
The odds of finding a key that will work in your
existing locks are not great. There are too many permutations.
However, here's another approach: remove the cylinder from one
door. Take it to a locksmith, together with an appropriate key blank. The
locksmith should be able to take that cylinder apart, and, based on the pins,
make a key that will fit it - (and thus will also fit the ignition
lock). You can also remove the lovebox lock and use that to have
him make you a key that will fit it - and the trunk lock. All
you will need to get, for the locksmith, is correct key blanks for that
year car, which can usually be found on eBay.

Hi,
I'm getting a little tired of working on my '58 Dodge Sierra
with it 'hot wired'/toggle switch under the hood, and it is about time to
try and find some keys to fit it!
Does anyone have a large
selection of 'forward look keys' that they would be willing to 'loan' for a
day or two so I can try and find one that
works?
Thx!
Bob
