He claimed to have all the GM keys, by number, between 400-500 different numbers. He says that if he had the number, he would get the correct key. This was for my '53 Chevy, I assume that GMC would be included. I just re-read your post, he needs the number that is in the stamped out part of the key, I don't think the lock number would help. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Yes, the number stamped on the door lock is the key code. And there were 1500 key codes, starting at 8000 and going to 9499. These same codes were used from 1935 to 1966 for all GM vehicles. It might be hard to find a locksmith with the code book in UK. I have one. PM me if you need info for your local locksmith.
You should post your parts wanted request in the proper forum.
