How many keys did an AD Panel or Burb come with? The cars had a door/ignition and a trunk/glove box so they came with two keys. Next, is there any way to remove the ignition switch if one doesn't have a key to turn the switch so the hole in the face lines up with the release button? Thank you; Evan

If you have a string of abt. 100 keys like mine. Ive opened numerous doors, ign.,trunks, glove boxes, etc with all these.
Having a key machine helps also.

I took my locks to a local locksmith, now one key works every lock on my panel truck. Helps a lot and was well worth spending a little money

For the ignition, you can pick it. Or you might find its worn, and any key will turn it, that's what I found with mine.

Thanks everyone, I have the barn door lock out and can certainly get the door and glovebox ones out. The switch and locks all seem to be original so if they can find a number on any of the ones I take to them they should be able to cut a new one. There is a lock shop about 50 miles from me that has the two large rings of GM keys that they let me go through till one works and then make a copy. It's aways worked but if I have numbers it would sure speed things up since with my luck it's aways at least three quarters of the way through the second ring before I Bingo.

There will be a number on the side of the passenger door lock.
