Lost Ignition Keys
 
Lost my ignition keys. I searched and found the passenger side door lock contains a code for the 67-72 trucks. Would an 1986 C20 have the same code?

Any real locksmith can cut a key for the truck in about 20 minutes, without a code. Sure you have to pay for a house call, but when you need a key to start it and all.....

FYI you can still by ignition cylinders from GM and they come with 2 new GM keys...Have to pull the steering wheel tho and replace it but after 20 years they are worn anyway. Would be the cheapest too

also most autop parts stores still stock the aftermarkets for aroubnd $20 or so and the swap can be done in a matter of an hour with the right tools so it would be alot cheaper to do it that way

If you call LMC you can get the ignition and door locks pretty cheap. If I remember right when I bought mine it was under $50.00 for the whole kit. Buy the one that is all keyed alike. One less key on your keyring.

Real locksmith here and yes its true I can make a key by impression within 5 minutes, but your way too far. Lol.. all you need is a steerng wheel pull and a screw driver flat head and a o ring pliers. Its a 15 minute job for me but this is my job.

Get a blank key and a candle. get the black soot onto the key stick in the ignition and turn pull it out and it should leave the impression to cut out. then use a file to form a key.
