Key blanks, 1982 Trans Am. Need to buy the J and K, or will any GM blank work?
The keys that go with the automobile, J and K.
The hatch key, a very big bend in it. So would like to get extra keys before something goes bad.
No local shops have anything similar, one place had A and D.
Does any similar GM key blank work, or does it have to be J and K?
Thank you.

Gotta have J/K. The ridges in the side, that determine whether the key will go into the lock, are different.
They rotated through A/D, B/E, etc. year after year. J/K is no more or less common than A/D in the universe at large.
Try Amazon, ebay, google (!), etc. Somebody somewhere will have them.

Had found a couple of online stores, with the J and K.
Will buy from there, unless the eBay has a lower price.
Good suggestion, checked eBay, cheaper.
