Someone changed the ignition lock and key for my 50 Land Cruiser. I have the original door key and surprisingly this replaced ignition key has the identical cut except for the #5 cut is just one number different in the cut depth. Hopefully I can remove the ignition lock and change the #5 pin to match the doors. Does anyone know what years HURD used this key shape? Thanks, Tom

What Years did HURD use this Key Shape?
As far as I know ALL of them!
Ford's, Mercury's and Lincoln's as well as Studebaker 8 Cylinder and Commander Models used them up to 1959, but all Hurd Ignition and Door Keys I have seen have that distinctive narrow short shank.
I think it was 2 days ago, I just explained the Yale/Hurd thing to someone here.StudeRich

Yes, I'm familure with Yale keys for my Champions, and HURD keys for my Commanders, but I am wondering about the shape of the handle for the key. SI has keys pictured on page 211, and my 2 original keys (rear 2) in this picture are listed as fitting 1947-1960, but the other key in my picture isn't shown in the SI catalog. I'd guess it for pre 1947 cars, but am not sure of that.
