I just bought 2 pair for 10 bucks off ebay after I read this. They are plentiful on there if you search "mopar key"

If you go to any locksmith that has been around for some time, they will likely have them. My local locksmith has all the OEM blanks going back to the 40's!!

A or B is believed to refer to the original lock supplier to Chrysler.
A is for All Lock
B is for Briggs and Stratton.
I got the above from a Mopar friend who works for Briggs. He also said that all the guys who were around back then are now gone. It could also have meaning as a primary/secondary key. But he believes it was more of a vendor coding thing.

Yale was a suppler before Briggs (now Strattec).
there are different locations of milled groves in the length of the key, making them A or B.
They used different warting (bump in the lock cylinder that follows the milled groove) in the locks to increase the number of possible combinations.
Yale also used different heights of the bumps, making the pin sets different than most newer ones.

gassy66, Do you mind sharing where you had this done at? Even if in a private message, I am in New Castle and looking to have a set of proper keys cut for my '66 Hemi Coronet. Thank you.
