Thanks LockDoc for the info. Saved for future reference. My 75 is one that has a swapped ignition. Now has a E key. Doors are still the B key.
No problem. I posted the info for the '67-'72 trucks a few years ago.

More nerd info:
The original GM parts book lists a 'B&S number' of 320404 and 320405 for an E and H key code set. The B&S number apparently stands for Briggs and Stratton. I'm assuming of the small engine builder variety?

Yes, Briggs & Stratton supplied the locks and keys for GM (and many others) since about 1920, They were bought out by Strattec who still supplies locks and keys for the auto industry.
