    My spare key is kept near the battery. You open the step and it is right there. It has a bob on it and you can push the button to unlock the doors. The truck is insured. Take it.

    Maybe out on the street. It's Freighliner so there probably isn't room to park on the lot.

    Some Wal mart stores are funny about big truck keys, the local one is, as in they refuse even though they have the blanks, others are OK with it.

    I've had pretty good luck with Home Depot, myself.

    Yup, but depending on the truck most hardware stores won't carry the blank. No blank = no copy.

    Never been to a locksmith that couldn't copy them just fine.
