Question about key blanks
My 85 D150 only came with 1 key for the ignition and no glove box key.
I noticed a set of original Chrysler blanks on ebay but also noticed some were stamped with an A and some with a B.
Is there a difference? I could not see any in the pictures and the Curtis website only listed one part number for Chrysler blanks of that type. Y-152 for ignition and Y-149 for the glove box.

Those are the old style Chryco key blanks, which they used up until the late 70s or early 80s, IIRC.
Look at your current truck key. Is it cut on one edge, or two? Does the one key that you have work both the door locks and ignition?

They changed to a double cut key for some models in 1987.
Before then the round key worked the trunk and glove box or console and the ignition key worked the door.
I talked to the locksmith that made the key for my glove box and he did not think there was any difference in the A or B blanks.
Not sure why those letters are stamped on them.

they probably just made them different like that just so you could tell the difference between them.
