need help

its a Ford, with a bed cover, NOT Ford..



has 2 locks, with a snap metal cover that flips (spring loaded) over the lock, which sticks up a little distance from the cover. the locks are near the tail gate, too J 243 code.. and an AP4 will almost go in-its too long.. but the master blank for those 5 will NOT..



ideas on the proper blank?? didnt get to tear into it, it was just passing thru, but they need keys.. what I need is the proper key blank number?



ideas? thanks.

I show two possibilities for "J 243 code" Orig # D8789 / Ilco # 1069E Orig # HO1L / Ilco # L1054G if it has just 3 wafers ? Ilco # 1125 / Orig # 9000 / Curtis # H6

g'luck

your welcome...

forgot to tell ya, those came from genericode.

everything I found in my books, was the wrong key blank..

--Shiva--

my genericode was just updated a few months back. please let me which one worked, if any ?

yeah, will get ILCO book out tomorrow and see what is close to the AP4.. --Shiva--

J243 shows a L1054G in instacode, sub to a FR2 which I think is a part of that AP series should be a AP2?

been a while so you better check that.

If it's the Ilco #1125 / Orig #9000 / Curtis #H6 that is the same key way as the '32 through '48 Fords & '47 through '52? Studes......

You might try looking up the code number here:

You can't get the cuts unless you subscribe but it will let you know what locks that code series is used on and the key blanks used.

the blank that fits is a FIC 1
