Anyone know where to get Original Chevy/GM key blanks?

Dealer? I think i paid 3 each. They were even able to look up the proper keys i was supposed to have so now i have good gm keys rather than duplicates of duplicates

So they cut them to the original code for your truck

Yes. We compared them to the duplicates, they had a lot more detail, so it was a little questionable as to if they would work, but they worked waaaaayyyy better than my duplicates or who knows how many duplicates

But if your locks and ignition are still original you should be OK, i gambled on mine and it paid out

I tried that but it was soon apparent that some one had replaced the tumbler with something from another vehicle all together. But I still got keys cut that work which none of the hardware stores could do.

GM sent their mobile guy to fix me up. same guy who fixed all their cobolts lol

Exhaust time!

Finally installed a new exhaust. Went from some unknown-brand mufflers turned-down in front of the rear axle to a set of Flowmaster Super 44s run through mandrel-bent flowmaster tail pipes out the back. I'm loving the sound/look of it, plus it took about an hour to install. Not too bad! I like the sound, at there is almost no drone in the cab anymore - it was REALLY bad before. I'll post pics once I get the tips and H-pipe installed. For now here are some before/during (oh yes)/after videos. I hope they work!

Before with unknown-brand mufflers turned down:

Before Video

With no mufflers - I just cut them off and let the pipes hang (wife was with me - you think she liked it?):

454 - Allowed to BREATH

And finally with the Super 44s and tailpipes:

Removed 4 trash bags worth of floor insulation, dirt, broken glass, straw, trash, random debris,... out of the bed and floorboard of my new '84. Getting it all cleaned up so I can decide where to start fixing it.
