1977 Vette Key Problem
Hi All,
I have no idea what happened to my 77 vette before me, but this is what I have.
My round key opens the drivers door only and the rectangle key starts the car.
The passengers door, the alarm & the back box has no key that works.
Does the passengers door, the alarm & the back box all have the same key?
If so is it worth going to a locksmith and have them make me a key from one of the tumblers for $35.00 or should I go on Ebay and replace the tumblers with new?
If they are all the same key I was going to bring in the back cover tumbler and key it as it is the easiest one to remove.
Thanks
Jack

Yes, that's the way to do it.
