Well i just got finished moving a few months back and i started looking for the keys to my 71 and i musta miss placed them and i dont really wana get a new ignition cause then the doors will still be diffrent so does anyone know were i could have keys made from the door/igniton switch????
Locking glove box? key code should be on the lock cylinder. Same for the door. Remove lock cylinder. A ford dealer who has the code key cutting machine will be able to cut a new key(s) Or take cyl to locksmith to see what they can do. Need key to take ign lock cylinder out.

One of the door cylinders will have the key code stamped on it, I can't remember if it's the pass or drivers door, but only one has the code. A locksmith should be able to make one, had the same problem with my 67. Like George said, a Ford dealer can probably do it also.
I'd go with the door cylinder. Even if you have a key, the ignition is a PITA to take out.
Great minds thinking alike , Pat. Pretty sure it's the pass door lock thet has the code. Was it Randy that bought some Ford stuff that had a key cutter?

Randy has a key cutter. He wanted to give it to me. Haha.
Anyway. Why is everyone saying it's a PITA to take the ign cyl out? I did it on my '74 in about 5 minutes. I didn't have the key either. I had to swap it with the one from my '76 so I could have a key instead of hot wiring it....

I wonder if it's different from the 67, mine was a pain to get out.
