Robert is right, one key controls everything. 67 - 72

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-10-2007, 12:40 AM

the reason you cant lock it and shut the door without it popping back up is because its a safety thing so you dont lock your keys in the truck

I think you need to pull the code from the passenger side lock cylinder to have new key made.

I can key glove box locks to work with the ignition/door key. I have made up a couple of sets of them. Sold one set on here and one set on e-Bay.

My '71 C-10 has one key that fits the ignition and the doors.

after this thread maybe we should add a club or 2, 1 key club, 2 key club

heavy71chevy · 06-10-2007, 01:43 AM

is a locking gascap a stock thing? because i have one key for the doors and ignition but another small key for the gas cap that looks like the original..and i know my igniton key is the original and the small key looks like an original as its stamped with the gm fuel logo

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-10-2007, 01:52 AM

i dont think theyre stock but stock replacement

heavy71chevy · 06-10-2007, 01:59 AM

yea the original owner prolly lost the original an had it replaced shortly after it was new..im the third owner of it and i used to work with the second and he never mention that he replaced the cap..it looks pretty old..but i like it ..deters the gas theives with a water hose lol

Texas1971 · 06-10-2007, 02:05 AM

Thanks for all the help. I'll assume that I have the right key and that the door lock cylinder is just "froze." What would you suggest for loosening up the mechanism ... graphite, torque, ? The key goes all the way in but won't turn. Could have been an ignition change, but I doubt the key would fit so well in the door

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-10-2007, 02:09 AM

try sprayed some wd-40 or pb blaster into the key slot on the lock and let it sit a bit and spray it a few times over a day and see if it moves, if not pull it out and see if you can soak it to free it up or just get a new one

sjarrett71 · 06-10-2007, 02:11 AM

One key for everything here.

Texas1971 · 06-10-2007, 02:14 AM

Yep, I'll give that a try and let you know. Thanks!
