Are these trucks, easy to ummm...get into? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67ChevyRedneck · 05-06-2008, 11:03 PM

Ok, so I'm a retard. I lost my keys 3 years ago. ALL of them, silverado, C-10, Jena's car, apartment, work, the whole shebang. Well, I was smart and had copies of all of them...

Was down in GA this weekend... packed the car to leave, 20 mins. later I can't find my keys (I had used them 20 mins. earlier to get into the car!). After tearing apart her car and apartment (which is almost empty from moving) the keys are nowhere to be found. I only walked one way to get to the car and they keys weren't there either, plus they have a big orange clemson key strap thingy on them so I can find them easier when I lose them

So here's the extra retard part, I never made a spare set of keys for the 67 after I lost the first set 3 years ago. I do have an extra ign. key for some reason, but not door... soooo.... ummmm.... are these trucks easy to get into?

Any tricks that won't tear my door or window seal up?

Slide a(dull) blade in the the vent window and push up the vent lock. Then reach in and unlock the dude.

Or if you have traditional lock knobs, the coat hanger trick works pretty well from the top window frame.

My dad and I got into my grandpa's old truck by using a dull blade in the vent window after my dad locked the keys in it. Once the wing is open you just have to reach in.

Unless 67's are different, these trucks only lock with a key from the outside. They won't lock with the inside knob when you shut the door. So, your keys should be somewhere besides inside the truck.

edit: Oops, they're locked in a car, not your truck. The wing window works, that's how I get into my GMC with shaved door handles if the battery is disconnected.

lilred67 · 05-06-2008, 11:47 PM

i have used the hold down wire on the master cylinder cap. stick it in through the rubber on the backside of the vent window and position it to push the vent window lever foward when you twist it. sounds crazy but i have done it numerous times..... hope this helps.

That's b/c they are illegal in most states these days. But as was said before, there are PLENTY of ways to get into these trucks.

Long Roof · 05-07-2008, 02:59 AM

Go with a local wrecking co., the local cops or AAA. They should all be able to get in. Or just call Onstar

I've used the dull blade method.
And, the barbarians around here also push real hard on the back side of the wing window and force it open "backwards." After that happens, it's a PITA to get it back past the weather stripping. More time consuming than difficult.

I guess we've purty much had our auto burglary lessons for the day.

I've seen my pop open up vent widows with two spoons....Yes really! Or you could break down and call a locksmith and save the cost of repairing any damage you may cause.

**truckdude239** · 05-07-2008, 04:43 AM

they sell slim jims at the local advance auto here

Arad68 · 05-07-2008, 04:45 AM

Just call a locksmith. It will cost you about $40 and you will probably get a new key in the deal. If you talk to him real nice he might hook you up with a "slim jim" or apparatus of that kind. Cool dog! Do you realize he has a mustache?

bowtieboy93 · 05-07-2008, 04:47 AM

just call a locksmith
your gonna need new keys now anyways

oldspowered67C10 · 05-07-2008, 06:17 AM

On a somewhat related subject I once locked myself into my truck. I had just installed my one piece windows along with all the mechanisms inside the doors so I decided Id sit in the truck to see how I liked it. I made sure I had my keys in my pocket, rolled up the windows and closed the doors. The problem was that I had never installed the inside door handles or the window crank. I could start and drive the truck no problem but I just couldnt get out. I waited for damn near an hour before a neighbor walked by and I was able to get his attention and ask him to open the door from the outside. He thought it was the funniest thing in the world but I was slightly less amused.

That's classic, Dude.
But I ain't so sure I'd own up to it!

rod86 · 05-07-2008, 01:43 PM

but that is soo funny...

when my brother bought my f100 off me he deided to put central locking in it and one time he stopped by my place, when he went to leave he got in started her up then got out to get something and the door blew shut and it locked itself for some reason, so keys in ignition, engines running, an noone in the cab... he spent half an hr with a coathanger trying to just turn the ignition off then another half hr getting the door unlocked...

I think that I might be able to crawl thru the "vents" in my floor boards. I would just need a tetnus(sp?) shot afterwards.

That might have happened too...

I'm cheap, new door locks and keys are $20, so if I can get in myself, it's even better
