1979 F100/350:

D9TZ-1022050-A .. Door/Ignition Cylinder Lock Set / Obsolete

D9TZ-1022050-B .. Door/Ignition Cylinder Lock Set-includes spare tire padlock key / Obsolete

D9TZ-1022050-C .. Door/Ignition Lock Set, includes locking hood lock cylinder and spare tire padlock key / Obsolete

D9TZ-1022050-D .. Door/Ignition Cylinder Lock Set, includes hood lock cylinder, does not include spare tire padlock key.

D9TZ-1022050-E .. Door/Ignition Cylinder Lock Set, includes hood lock cylinder, spare tire padlock key & glove compartment cylinder / Obsolete

*No truck of this vintage had a locking tail gate. It's too bad they didn't, because tail gates are easy to steal.

AFAIK, the locking tailgate feature wasn't available until the 21st century.

I cannot recall if my 2004 F150 had it, but my former 2011 F150 did and current 2015 F150 does.

I know that less than ten years later when Ford was making the SSP police package Fox Mustangs, that they were delivered with a single square key for the ignition, doors, and trunk. I'm not sure if they had locking glove-boxes. Obviously they used the later ignition switch/tumbler, and the glove-box lock is different, but it's possible that such an option existed earlier to accommodate the '60s style ignition and glove-box locks used in Dents.

Maybe by "tailgate" they were referring to a camper shell door??

All in one factory sealed Ford kit except for the switch and handle which I have assembled. (Bronco):



All these locks except for the spare tire lock can be re-pinned to match your existing locks. The glove lock uses three of the five pins and take the same pins. Hood release uses four wafers and can be re-done to match if yours does not. Bronco tailgate uses same pins again.





This set may be the last NOS set that existed. But like I said, you can make your own keyed alike set wits some spare-parts-locks and a few hours. I already have another set that I matched for another bronco.



The tool box lock is a different key and any locksmith will be able to make you a key for one. Some are disassembleable, some are not. Some have a "keyway door" some do not.

So, was it an option you could get in a truck? I got all of mine out of a 79 scab f250 that had just about every option.

'Way back when, as an anti-theft measure manufacturers started using different keys for ignition and locks - the theory being that if had one key for doors and ignition and a different key for gloveboxes, consoles, and trunks, you could leave valuables in those storage spaces inaccessible to the mechanic or valet who had the key. So over the years you will find one key fits all, one key fits ignition but not trunk, etc. Over time variations appeared like valet keys which would start the car but not open storage, and so on. Different years, and sometimes mid-year cut-ins, could mean you would have two, or if you had added things like toolboxes, three keys. In the zillion years since then many folks have converted multiple locks to use fewer keys for convenience so one key fitting four locks is very possible. Lecture over.

This jazz didn't begin until the 1980's. Square head key for ignition, round head key for doors.

Note I did not say "Ford" - GM started the two keys system in the '60s, I believe (certainly by my '64 Tempest). Most imports did single unlock-everything keys until someone started the valet-key thing in the '80s. Think Ford started it in the '80s, like you said - my '78 has one key but our '95 on had two (I passed on Fords for several decades o I am a little weak on specifics.)
