Sounds like a key code disk. The first one I remember seeing was the one that came with a new 72 Plymouth Duster.

Dealer kept track of the codes and if you needed replacement keys or were locked out, they could supply a new key.

Yes, it's the key code disc. It may go to your truck. The problem is to find a locksmith that can cut the code for you. If you can, have it done and see if the key fits. If it works, you're golden!
