Door and ignition, glove box and gate.  Your door cylinder from the passenger side should have a code on it, that's for the key.  Do not remember where the code is for the gate/trunk/glove box.

Having no keys is not a lost cause. When I was moving out of Colorado to Texas, I apparently packed the keys to my '57 in one of our boxes. I had to call a locksmith so we could drive the car over to a storage facility. He had a new key made (filed by hand) in less than 1/2 hour!
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

with all respect, I don't think so !
That's how it'd work on sedans, coupes aso.

wagons are different. ignition only one key ( square head), all others ( including doors, tailgate and glove box) the round head key.

Think of it like that. if you can unlock any door on a wagon, you can also get inside the trunk ( ie cargo area). that is why the same key locks all the stuff except the ign. on a wgn.

Lucky your we able to get done this way recently in the last 4-5 years this is become a lost art.  Now they say get a whole new tumbler lock set.  At least in Los Angles.  Someone that can file a key by hand is few and far between.

Thanks for the clarification DJ.  I had only one Ranch wagon, not sure if it was originally configured but what you said makes sense.
