Alright. So, yesterday I got me an '83 Scottsdale and this morning she told me all her problems. The first issue (a back-dated title) will cost me about $85.00. I bought it for parts, but I want to title it quick to keep the crackhead I bought it off of from starting any mess. Apparently, he drank his money away last night and woke up pretty upset to not have his truck. What seems to be a bigger problem is the lack of a door key. I don't know how to directly contact GM, but the dealership says that keys are only available back to '90. Any ideas on how I can go about getting a key? I appreciate all the help

To address your door key locks . There is a few ways you can go about this. A scrap yard get the locks try to find keys. Pet boys or some like that, auto part store in your area. Sell locks and keys sets. If dealer says they only go back to 1990 then ask for 1990 Blazer / Suburban door looks there the same The GM dealer will cost more but should be nice and say GM on the key. The auto parts store set should cost less and will not have GM stamped on the key. or you can take the locks out of you truck in stall them in the 83 for now then just get extra keys made if needed. I hope this helps.

Thanks, for the replies on the door keys. I go on ebay for everything and never would have thought to look for the locks. I will be buying them ASAP. Thanks to both guys who helped me, saved me a lot of time and trouble.

I was told that I can remove one of the locks, take it to a locksmith, and they can make me a key for about $10. I'm gonna check into it on Monday. If this works I will probably just get me some GM key blanks to make copies for that authentic feel. Again, thanks for the feedback.
