lost key any advice?

So I just bought an 86 4runner for $400 got a steal, well the same day i lost the key. My toyota pickup key will start it but i need a replacement so i can use the door locks and gas door lock. Anyone have any advice, maybe a key code or something?

pull one of the door locks, there will be a code on that lock. Any decent lock smith will be able to use that code to make a new key.

X2 with ocdropzone. Another option is to give the vin # to a toyota dealer and they could look up the key code. Being over 10 years old ( the truck) they may not be able to do it but you never know....

The PASSENGER door lock cylinder has the key code on it. Only one that does.
