not sure if Chevy would still have information on a 30 year old key, but i doubt it. try it , but don't get your hopes up too high.
all is not lost though. a good lock smith can fit a key to your lock.
not sure how much that will cost, but if it is too expensive you can always get a new lock set for your car.
you are not locked out of the car are you?

The tank sticker would have the key code and then a locksmith will make a key for about $5. If you have anything original to the car many times the owner wrote the code down.

call a locksmith... have them come to your house. They can get you into the car. From there i would have him change the ignition key. Then take the door panel off, go to a locksmith and have him make a key for the door. If it is the same as mine, they will change the cylindar for the ignition for 100 dollars.
or you could call AAA and say your keys are locked in your car and then have the locksmith come and do the ignition cylindar!!!
Goodluck~!!

Call a locksmith and see what your options are. They should be able to whip up some new keys.
Ladies and germs, here we have an object lesson: whenever you buy a vehicle, first thing to do is run to the hardware store and have a bunch of keys made. Cheap insurance.

In ireland so couldn't even get a blank here to get a second set cut. (was quoted €500 for a locksmith to do the job)
The only option i really have is to order a new set of locks. Its the cheapest by far. i'll get the aa to open the car and go at the rest myself.
Thanks for all the advice
