I need a new set of key for my 86 pickup. I tried calling the dealership and they said they can't make them for that old of a truck. Any Ideas and where I can try?

The problem with a straight copy is that you end up with an exact copy of an already worn out key. Go to a locksmith and have a new key cut from scratch. If you have the original key with a key number on it it's a simple matter, even if you don't have the original you can stil get a fresh key made, it just takes more time and some trial and error.

I wanna get some "new" keys made for my 4runner and our supra. we don't have any originals, just old copies. whats the deal with a dealership making them? Just go in and ask for new keys?

i think you can buy toyota key blanks from the dealer and then just bring it to home depot and get them cut

Heres a somewhat related question. My fuel door key lock and tail gate lock are seized. Can I get new cylinders to match my ignition/door keys? I would like to have a matched set.

i think you can buy toyota key blanks from the dealer and then just bring it to home depot and get them cut hardware stores will have toyota blanks(and other makes). a new key cut off an old one actually turns out really good. it won't be as rounded and is more defined. make 2 copies and keep one as a "new" master.

On the trucks and 4runners, if you pull the passenger door lock, you will find a four digit number on the lock body. Take this number to a good locksmith and he can cut you a new key. You can get new key blanks from the dealer if you want to go that route.

for some reason, both my 85's work with the same key, go figure.
