I took out a door tumbler and found "9025" stamped on the barrel. I know the locksmith can cut a key ($12) but he's 30 miles away and I have a blank and a key cutter.
Anyone able to translate this number to specific key cutting data?

Have you taken out the back seat and see if there
is an access hole large enough to reach the bolts
on the latch or the clip that holds in the lock assembly? This might allow you immediate access in case you don't get the numbers for the key code. Just a thought.

No way to de-cipher it from the number. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 115 Member | | Member Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 115 | Code 9025 cuts to 223121. Do you have a way to set spacing and depth of cuts? If not, send me your snail-mail address and I'll mail you a couple of keys.
The only Chevy II I had was a wagon, with all locks keyed alike. Cars with trunks could have the trunk and glove box on a secondary key. Take the glove box lock apart and see if it has the same number.

The bad news is the ignition must have been changed sometime over the last 40 years and some moron buggered up the trunk lock.
Oh well, back to the rear seat removal strategy!
