Key is broken off in my switch, and I need to replace it. Can't find any sites that have this specific unit, and O'Reilley's and Auto Zone is useless.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Try a locksmith. You'd be surpirsed at the magic they can perform and for how little moeny they can do it.

 

Also just incase you did not know, the ignition key and door lock are the same key.

 

Don't think I'll worry about the door lock...The old farmer that owned this truck before had his keys brazed to a pocket knife. Instead of pulling out a blade, you pulled out the key. Kinda ingenious, in an Okie kinda way.

 

Look on www.fordbarn.com and there's a guy from Southington, Conn. ( near me ) that has them for sale. Look on the early V8 side of the site. You may have to scroll down a little for his ads.

Thought I just seen some on ebay the other day. Do a search on Ford F1 under parts and acc. Bill

 

Try Carpenter they will have key blanks ans ignition switches if you want one of them.

 

These can be expensive. Agai, try calling a locksmith. This is what they do for a living and they do it cheaply.

 

If the 51 switch is the same, you are welcome to the old one I took out of my truck. Someone else was looking for one awhile back and I sent them a picture, but they said it was the wrong one. I don't have a key though so you would have to get one made at a lock shop.

I took my switch to a local lock smith. It cost me about $30 bucks for a couple of keys to be made for it.
