Autozone sells both for the same price. I bought mine there then had the bottom of the key matched for the doors. Works perfect. $15 for either black or chrome.

i called last night ... since you have a life, you were probably busy and didn't hear it.

turns out that the problem was in the rat's nest of wiring the last owner did for the radio, and i'm good now.

Yes, take it to a good locksmith. You'll notice when you purchase the key cylinder from Autozone that the top of the key will only be cut. That's because that's the only portion of the key that the ignition cylinder uses to be able to turn. The bottom portion of the key is for the door lock cylinders, the door lock cylinders only use the bottom portion of the key to be able to turn.

So if you take your original key and the new key from Autozone to a locksmith he should be able to cut the bottom portion of the new key to match the bottom portion of your key.

That's what I did, and it worked perfectly.

Also, the Autozone ignition cylinders come with "Ford" OEM keys!
