Thank you, Moe.
But I still find it odd that the 1960 F600s that I have use a key that was supposedly obsolete in 1960 (key B). And two of them have the "key tag" that came with them.

Here is Ilco's 1940 to 1980 Automotive blank chart in pdf format:

The problem with these keys is that they are so small, most newer key machines have a hard time getting them to hold. I got some blanks, since nobody here had them. When they cut a key, the blank was in crooked and the cut was off. After about 15 minutes with a 3 sided file, I had an extra key that works great.

It's one of those things that they did to make it more secure in later years. The early key (B) had less security then the (A) style. Added grove in the A type it can still work in the B socket. When keys are used with locks that are different cut, then the tumblers are worn.

I used the Ilco 1125H and it works fine. According to Ilco's site the 1125H is the proper blank for 1940-51 Ford Ignition and door. This is the same blank listed for Mercury and Lincoln.
