Oh Labor Day weekend - Drunken stupors abound, and now I'm left without keys. The part was replaced a few years ago, so it does not match the VIN.

It's a 96 Toyota Tacoma.

Wondering if I remove my ignition switch from the steering column, will there be a parts number or something similar to the idea of a VIN situation where I can take it to the dealership.

Or, could I take the part to a locksmith where they'll have a skeleton key and can make a new key?

Basically, for a locksmith to come out they want to charge $200. If I can get it done for $50 or less, it's worth the effort.

Thanks in advance.
