Default More keys help

as you may know my keys were stolen awhile back. 1977 series II.


I have gotten the steering lock out and sure enough there is a small tag with a number on it inside the casing. Good, so now I can get a key made.


I forget what keys do what. Does the ignition key open the trunk and/or the doors? Can the locksmith make the other key from the numbers I give him. I also still have the window sticker from the new car purchase; is that of any help?


As usual, thanks for your knowledge.

Ignition key only starts the car.
I believe that the door key also works for the gas tank locks.
And the trunk and glove box have another key.

You don't need a key to open the trunk, if you don't lock it.
