Default Duplicate Keys...

I'm looking to get some extra keys made for some of the cars...doubt we have any key numbers to reference. What is the best source for Chevy keys 68-70 vintage??

I have the GM (B&amp;S) blanks correct for 69 up. Give me the letter codes on your keys and I can send you the blanks.
Or you can take your keys to a lock pro and he can give you your codes by measuring the cuts.
With the letter codes and the cut info I can cut the keys. I have the cutter from a GM dealer.
The latter style blanks will work to replace the pear and hex style but are incorrect in appearance.
The early blanks can be purchased at HBC and The Parts Place Inc by letter code.

OK..I looked at the keys and found the letter codes...if I get the correct blanks from you can a local lock person cut them here using the originals as the pattern?? It appears most of the keys have a &quot;J&quot; or &quot;K&quot;...also &quot;D&quot; and &quot;C&quot;...and even an &quot;E&quot; and &quot;H&quot;...some of our keys are very worn.

thanks for the input..

A great Corvette guy for locks and keys is Richard Fortier. He is a wonderful guy to chat with and has great parts
