Can't find any place that can make me a spare key, not even Wal-Mart. Mine is a 1980 Chevy Luv with the wierd short black key.

Find a little key shop / locksmith or a mom and pop hardware store. Have them look in the Toyota section of their key blanks. The ones I had made say LUV Toyota on them.

Occasionally there are the original style blanks (the black one you have) on E Bay. You could get them and have a store grind them for you.

I always just go to a locksmith and have never had trouble with them finding the right keys. I've had about a dozen made over the years at several different shops and they've all just reached right up on the rack and pulled out the right blank. I wouldn't trust Walmart to make anything but a buck off me, so that is the last place I'd go. ;)
