Take the ignition switch to the locksmith (easier to get out) and have him
cut a key.   He will have key blanks if he is a good locksmith.  No, they
will not be Mopar originals but aftermarket units.  But you want a key now
and the aftermarket keys are much cheaper and easier to get than the
original blanks.

As you have a Sierra, getting the tailgate lock out might be a bit of a
challenge, but again the locksmith can cut a key.

Hi Bob,

The odds of finding a key that will work in your existing locks are not
great. There are too many permutations. However, here's another approach:
remove the cylinder from one door. Take it to a locksmith, together with an
appropriate key blank. The locksmith should be able to take that cylinder
apart, and, based on the pins, make a key that will fit it - (and thus will
also fit the ignition lock).   You can also remove the lovebox lock and use
that to have him make you a key that will fit it - and the trunk lock.   All
you will need to get, for the locksmith,  is correct key blanks for that
year car, which can usually be found on eBay.

Hi,

I'm getting a little tired of working on my '58 Dodge Sierra with it 'hot
wired'/toggle switch under the hood, and it is about time to try and find
some keys to fit it!

Does anyone have a large selection of 'forward look keys' that they would be
willing to 'loan' for a day or two so I can try and find one that works?

Thx!

Bob
