any good locksmith shop should be able to make you a key from your OEM unit.  When I got my 79, it cost $2 per key, and took about 5 minutes.  Local hardware stores may be able to do them, but if not, find a locksmith shop.

To answer the second part, yes they can cut a new key given your OEM code on your key.  It'll be easier if they just copy what you have now.

You would think that getting a key made by a locksmith would be easy?
It appears that a locksmith with a brick & mortal location is a vanishing breed. We do have many "locksmiths in a van" that will come to your location (for an additional fee) but very few shops.
I did find one commercial shop that told me no sweat but when I arrived he discovered he did not have the blanks. He did order them & will have them tomorrow. I will say this he cut keys for the bed cover of my Sport Trac using just the lock & did it in a breeze.
Fortunately I should have this resolved tomorrow!
