What style key for my '68 c10

They have two styles of keys that or shown correct for a '68. Did my truck come with a octagon or square key.

I do not have the original keys for it.

Re: What style key for my '68 c10

When did they do the square key for the ignition and the round key for the doors? Was it later models?

My 72 still uses the same key for doors and ignition.

Talking Re: What style key for my '68 c10

My 71 has both. Been so long ago that I don't remember if I did it are it came that way.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

All '67's had the octagon key and the early '68's had the octagon key. GM started getting complaints about the small head key being hard to turn because of the recessed ignition bezel so somewhere during the first half of '68 they went to the rectangular head keys.
