door locks and ignition cylinder
I was wondering if anybody knows where i could get a new matching set of keys for the 1st gen trucks? I don't have the door keys and the ignition is acting up. I would like to get a new set of keys so i don't have to sorry quite as much about getting my truck stolen.
I can't seem to find anything online, and don't know what retailers are selling the correct set to fit my rig.
Thanks

Is this the correct one? Looks right, but why would it be limited to '82 and '83?

Looks like the Solex locks might not be all they are cracked up to be. I am thinking that i may just get this set off ebay unless anybody has any suggestions, or a reason these would not work for some reason.

Not everything is the same among 1st gen trucks, but what you found appears to be correct. Also, finding a new matching set is pretty much impossible unless you visit the junk yard, but certainly let me know if you do because I would like to have one less key on my key chain.

I replaced the ignition cylinder in my truck thinking I would need to carry around keys for both doors and ignition, and the new keys still open my doors. I don't know why or how that happened, nor how likely it is.

I am in the same boat as 1st Gen Crawler. I have a 1986 4Runner SR5 and I can only find poorly made ignition key cylinders and door sets. I have a friend who is a locksmith so I can easily get my cylinders key'ed to the same code, however I can't find any cylinder's of quality. I've found a guy on ebay "sixstarbernie" who sells the uncut master key for our generation trucks... even has the listing of all of the different applications, however I need new key cylinders. I'm also having an issue locating the key code for my 4Runner on the passenger door. this is becoming a huge pain in the butt!

Key Code
I actually got a good set of aftermarket door lock cylinders from Advance Auto Parts. I have no complaints so far with their quality. If you are going to have a locksmith re-key your cylinders to match, I would recommend having the ignition cylinder re-keyed to match the doors. The reason being is that to re-key the doors it would required removing the outer cover of the door cylinders which looks like crap after it is re-installed. Eventually, I plan on re-keying my ignition cylinder to match my doors, but I just haven't got around to having it done.
One of my issues is that the mechanism on driver door doesn't rotate correctly and I have to push the key in at JUST the right angle to get it to work.
I also purchased OEM blank keys for 1984-1987 Toyota Trucks and 4Runners.... 4x total. Then i purchased Standard Motor Products "Intermotor" brand replacement ignition assembly and door lock assemblies. My buddy let me know he's gonna help me do this and we'll stick to staying with the key code... if I can find it.
