Many Locksmiths and ACE Hardware stores have the blanks.

Ace hardware. But I did have to spend the $22 for a spare for my Deluxe. What a racket.

jbg -- If you think $22 is a racket, try getting a 2nd PATS key ("Passive Anti Theft System") for a Ford. My son bought a used pickup from a dealer, and they only gave him one key. A second key is $35 for the blank plus $65 labor to teach the truck to recognize the RFID chip in the new key. $22 is a bargain.
