'65 Ford pickup

FA was ign.. FB was secondary..

look at the shape of the keyhole.. IF the offset is same, its one key, pull the right door lock and look for the code.. methinks its on the lock.. ASSUMING no one has changed the doors.. me also thinks its same key.. cars tho I believe were different..

IF it has a GLOVE lock, thats the round head key..

--Shiva--

FA should use keyway 1167FD (H51)for '65 and up. FB should use keyway S1167FD (H50)for '65 and up.

goma.

Thanks Shiva. Trouble is I'm in Iowa and the truck is in Georgia. My brothers step son e-mailed me about it. I'll go ahead and tell him to pull the right door lock and check it. If it doesn't have a number he can still take it to a LS and have a key made for it.

g'day to you & yours Leon

On these the first thing to check for is an exposed clip on the door, codes were common. If you have to pull the panel, sometimes a trick that works real good is Silly Putty. By squeezing it in to the side of the lock often you can avoid fighting with a nasty rusted clip and also have no worry about disintergrating gaskets.

Impressioning may also be a good chioce, attack the passenger door. If it is a single sided lock be gentle as split plugs were common.
