Genuine GM key for less! A key shop worth mentioning

[John Gilbert]

I bent my one and only ignition key for my '68 GMC, and it cracked when I bent it back to flat. I knew if I tried it one more time in the lock that's where the front half was going to stay. I've had real bad luck with the Chinese made keys they grind at Home Depot, and Lowe's etc. breaking after a very short time. Add this to the fact the thought of handing my only chance to a zit-faced kid that's also in charge of making sure the toilets flush didn't inspire any real confidence either.

I knew I was going to have to suck it up, and go pay a little more to have a professional lock shop save my butt.

I went to Hills Bros. Lock shop in Garden Grove, CA. and what a pleasant surprise. On GM stuff they only use genuine GM blanks, and it cost me only $6.00 for three keys.

Here's a few pictures that might look familiar to Custom Classic Trucks readers the '68 is in the December 2010 issue that should be on the newsstands now... Uh, oh, did that sound like a cheap plug for the mag?

I think maybe seat recover tech will next.
