Yes! The original owner had some keys he did not know what they were for so he shipped them all to us.

Keys for wheel locks and gas cap were included, plus an extra set of original ignition & door keys. We had to pound a socket on the lugs underneath the lock to get them off, but all is well that ends well!

Thank you, everyone for all the help and suggestions :)

The 3/4 inch socket work worked best.
