Happy to help. If the book didn't say "confidential" on the cover I'd just post the whole thing
Let me know if that works out. My local locksmith was able to source generic blanks. They don't always have the right shape to the head but they work.
The current USA Toyota Dealership SST Computerized Code cutting machine is only set up to cut double sided keys
i used a hand Held CURTIS punch gun back in the day ,working at the Dealership Level WOW that would be gold to have one of those kits now

I earned my Book , FTW ...........
That is the exact setup and cutter I have. I inherited it in 2001 from the Darrell, the founder of Cruiser Outfitters. Neat tools!
Looks like u have a New "busy work " Money maker for Cruiser Outfitters " Key cutting division "
For what it’s worth, my 9/75 FJ40 has a single-sided key for the rear ambulance door. It may have been re-keyed at some point (no idea) but my double sided ignition key opens the gas door, front doors, and turns the 40 on, but the rear door is opened by a separate, single-sided key.
@secretsquirrel - my truck also came with a half dozen single sided keys that seem to unlock nothing...but most look like little lockbox keys, not Toyota keys.
Doh, I was thinking when the handle changed. The key was single sided for the whole run of 4x rear doors i.e. the never used a double sided key for the rear hatch or ambulance doors.
This lock is the super common single sided style

right for ambulance doors , but .............
will it fit side doors or the older hatch's lift type too ?
We did key cutting via mail-order for many years, I cut hundreds of keys sets for Cruisers I'd never seem all on the code. More recently we would only do them if they sent a cylinder, that way I could test cut on a cheap blank... just too many that has been rekeyed over time. I've rekeyed a handful of cylinders to march doors/ignitions too, I've got stamps to mark them, etc. Fun stuff but the key blanks got scarce and the bandwidth got low so it's a tabled project for the time being. Perhaps my retirement gig.

Side doors yes, lift gate hatch, no. That location was unique as instead of a square rear post, it was threaded for a linkage arm. Pics to follow.

Let me do some digging on what you have. I'll get back with you!
Side by side of the side/rear door single sided (LOCK60010 - 69510-60010) and rear hatch (LOCK60011 - 69540-60011)
And for anyone looking for a #3 blank in generic, here is your number TR2

No kidding. The collective amount of wisdom on 'MUD is truly astounding. Even on the minutia of things like 40-year-old keys... Pretty incredible when you think about it. 'MUD might be the single best use of the internet on planet Earth.
Hi Looked on various forums and could not find an answer. Question when the key is in the ambulance door lock and it is unlocked, key can not be removed, and when locked key can be removed, and when locked cannot be undone using latch on the inside (which does not seem right). Is this correct or have I got the lock and/or square drive fitted correct?
i think u have the square drive on the lock itself & interior strike or paddle out of Sync. like u suspect
please elaborate : is this a New OEM Toyota lock u are installing , the original lock going back ....
or
a aftermarket lock of some sort ?
