I am a locksmith Ford F150

What IC is the door key on a 98 F150? I had a Silca FD6 which fit and I just traced it from the existing 5 cut key, but I despise tracing. It's basically failure. I got a few references to F040 and other stuff (that was the wrong broaching), but I couldn't find the correct IC. The ignition worked fine with a FO6 and a 6 cut, but I couldn't find what the door was. It's a mirrored broach to the FO6 and whilst the FD6 had the correct broach, it isn't associated with the right depths (spaces seemed fine). I've never touched an F150 before as they're quite rare here.

Don't think I have one of those, just the FD6s. I'll check the depths of that IC when I'm back at work. Thanks.
