Keys for this truck were lost 20+ years ago- previous owner had rigged up a switch under the dash spliced into the ignition wires to bypass it.

Glad to hear your key worked Ben....

Here in NH it's considered a major violation to be in possession of a master key.

I have a set of those also. They are actually called "tryout keys" and all of the cuts in the keys are half way between the actual factory key depths. They are only supposed to be used to remove the lock cylinder, then you are supposed to cut a key from the code number on the lock. The tryout keys should not be duplicated since they are not the actual cuts for the lock, even though they happen to open it..
