If you added your general location to your profile there might be someone close. A place in Florida isn't going to help if you live in California. Bob Drake can supply the blanks if you can find a locksmith, https://www.bobdrake.com/FordItem.aspx?Item=B-3685-A A tip I learned with my '32 when duplicating a key is to straighten out a paper clip and lay it in the key cutting machine to space the blank correctly if the machine the locksmith is using doesn't position the key high enough. There might be a code on the lock cylinder that would enable an old Ford locksmith to cut a key from the number. The cylinder can be removed by drilling out the pin that retains it. Another suggestion, unrelated to the present question, is to keep a complete set of all keys along with your living trust/will (I assume everyone has one) in a safety deposit box or with a trusted friend.

You can remove the lock and have a good locksmith make a new one. Nobody has ever noticed my non Ford script key.

I have a 1934 Ford pickup with a steering column lock. The key is long gone and I would like to use the lock. Who has a replacement or can key the original lock? Thank You for your help.
