are all the locks keyed alike?
the door handles are only one screw to remove and have the key code stamped on them
trouble is tho after 35+ years the handles get broken and changed
so the surefire way is to get the code off the igntion barrel and a locksmith can make up a key on the spot but it can be a PITA to remove
u can take the door lock barrel to a lock smith and get a key made but it will take abit longer if they have to pull apart to get a code for the key

I lost mine in the street once and had a locksmith come out to the car and cut keys for it on the spot (it did cost $65 for the callout though) but at
the time I had different keys for door and ignition and he configured so I only had to use one key....he didn't ask to see rego papers or anything...
