Lost my truck key! Any idea how to get around it?

My key grew legs and ran off on me, I know in order to get the ignition cylinder out I have to have the key or drill the cylinder out verrrrrry carefully (which I'm not wanting to do) -- so I was just wondering if there is any other way or how I would go about getting another key made? Or if I have to take it to the shop to get it done or what?

Thanks in advance,
Larry

Locksmith is your only chance. Ford only holds key codes for seven years

Never had a key for the door locks to be honest...the locksmith mentioned something about 2 clips and a bar to replace those though...no big deal for now

The ignition cylinder (and key) wasn't stock, it was changed with the steering column

Door locks are painfully easy to replace.
