Original keys
Anyone know where I can get an original style key blank. I am looking for the six or eight sided kind. I came close a while back, a locksmith made me a set, but they did not have the exact right grooves and didn't end up working.

Got mine for the '69 from the truck Shop. I don't know if they have the octagonal ones, though.

You see NOS Briggs and Stratton blank keys pop up on Ebay fairly often.

Yeah, the Briggs and Stratton ones were what I had made. They did not have the right grooves in the side. I don't know if they have multiple styles with different grooves or not though. Also' GM only makes the square headed key blank now, I tried the dealer first as they were the ones that lost my original key.

What year are you looking for..?
I still have connections thru my Locksmith suppliers that may be able to obtain them. And how many would you like if I can get them...?

I was looking for the original style blanks. I have keys that work , they are just the newer GM style and I don't like them.
