Keys for door locks
Just a quick question for you guys, were the door locks on 53 to 55 trucks keyed with the ignition key or a separate key. Our 55 f350 ignition key won’t work in the door locks so I was wondering if they have been changed?
Thanks

Thanks John.
I am headed to London tomorrow to a place that says he should be able to key the door locks. He figures he can get to it in the next couple of weeks.

You can buy ignition tumblers and door locks keyed the same. I put them in my pickup..

Not in my experience. There was a two key set (separate door and ignition) for most vehicles into the 1960s.

Don't know if anything has been changed but my truck uses one key for both doors and the ignition. One of the keys looks like an original while the other is obviously a cheap copy.

Ok thanks for everyone that commented their original trucks being set up like this! I also just got confirmation from a friend that knows these original truck
details very well. 48-52 at least had one key unless 51-52 had a glove box key- that was a separate key. So somehow 53 and up that might have been changed as to the OP’s question was those date ranges.
