Also, your statement of my "all" is no different than your statement that all 72's came with ONE key. I say this specifically as there is no evidence to support a reason my door locks or ignition switch were ever changed out...though I suppose it was possible for some odd reason, as it is a 50 year old truck

Re: Ignition key door key
On three of my trucks, the Ignition and Door Lock key was the same.
'67 K/10 Suburban -- Key [originally octagonal] worked Ign, Doors and Tailgate. '68 C/10 Stepside -- Key [also originally octagonal] Ign and Doors. Glovebox, added later, was a different key. '71 K/1500 GMC Jimmy -- Key works in Ign and Doors. Tailgate key was different. Due to wear on daily drivers over decades, I've gone to the rectangular headed keys. I've had the best re-key results from Home Depot's ''robot'' key copy machine. Worst results from ''helpful'' amatuers at Ace Hardware, who screwed it up 3 times in a row.

The only difference is that my "ALL" is true, and I have the Briggs & Stratton, GM lock and key books to prove it.. I have a good idea. You rely on a web site that has no idea what they are even selling (if you don't believe that call and ask them a question) and I'll rely on my 46 years of locksmith experience.... It's pretty obvious that you aren't going to believe me no matter what I say so this will be my last reply to you. LockDoc

Re: Ignition key door key
LockDoc is right.
In post 4 I said my '69 came with only one rectangular head key (actually 2 identical rectangular keys). I was surprised because all the GM cars I was familiar with different keys (actually 2 of each type). I am 100% sure since I bought the truck new. I even asked the dealer about it. He said that was the norm.

Re: Ignition key door key
I just noticed that I misspoke in post 30 when I described my keys as having hexagonal shaped heads. I have edited post 30 to say "rectangular". Sorry if that has caused any confusion.

Re: Ignition key door key
I am with LockDoc, my 68 only came with a single key that unlocks the doors and works the ignition switch. I remember this was common with GM vehicles. Having owned several 60s era GM vehicles this was common. In actuality, the key should also unlock the glove box as well (if equipped with a lock mechanism).
