I know Ford only had a limited number of key patterns that were used. Imagine my surprise when I inadvertantly used my '72 key in the '68 and it worked. I've had this happen with other Fords too... my '76 Torino key opened and started a friend's '76 Mustang and a girl that I went to school with had a '69 Cougar whose key would open and start her brothers '67 F-100.

A friend of mine worked on my bronco. When it was brought back to me it had a new set of keys?. I thought it was kind of strange and was wondering what happened to my ford key ring. When I ran into him later, he asked if I still had those keys.... It turns out he was working on a couple of broncos and got our keys mixed up. His keys worked in mine bronco, but mine did not work in his
