Thanks for the response. Any idea where I could find a truck key blank-original??

It seems like they used the same key in 1952 as they did in 1949. They changed to the Monterey badge ignition key in 1953 if I remember correctly and kept that through 1956. Blanks for these are hard to find. A lot of the stuff sold by the parts vendors are later type keys. This link illustrates the Mercury key with the Monterey badge.

Maybe someone else can confirm a 1954 Mercury key set. All of mine are for 1949 thru 1951 and possibly 52. Lincoln generally used different keys for their cars. Ford keys are definitely different than Lincoln and Mercury keys.

Naturally, the earliest FORD TRUCK CATALOG I have is 1957.

The trucks should have the same key as the Ford passenger cars.
