Master Key for an 84 ROW & Trunk T-handle Removal?

[Hugh R]

My car only came with the valet key, not a master key. Since its an ROW, the U.S. dealers can't help. I pulled the glove box lock out in an attempt to get a key made, but the tumblers are missing. How do I pull out the trunk t-handle. I loosened the cable at the latch, but the handle won't pull out. Any suggestions on 1) where to get a key for an ROW or 2) how to pull out the trunk t-handle to take it to a locksmith to make a master key?

Thanks as always for any advice.

Maybe a moderator will see this and move it to the tech board.

Tumblers on the passenger side door should work to form a key...

Use the valet key to have a new master cut. The cut on the key is identical, only difference is the groove.

Thanks Tim and Wayne. I tried that and it still won't lock the trunk t-handle. The valet key works on ignition, and doors. I'm pretty sure the locksmith used the right master key blank, which does have that extra groove at the top where indicated in the photo. I'll keep trying.
