Might be interesting to know which blank this is.

When I needed a spare key for a '60 Pontiac, the place I used found out that
1970's AMC blanks would work - AMC trunk for GM ignition and AMC ignition
for GM trunk.   If your guy is using the same era blanks, it's possible then
that the easily found GM style blank may work also.
