Sounds like your area. Locksmith with a VATS interrogator or all 15 value keys could generate a key for you.

And about the universal keys, Ford keys from the same year open each other, or something like that. I locked the keys in my truck ('03 F150) while hunting one time and a friend opened my door with his key from a '0-something Explorer...I don't know the exact details on which keys work with what, but if I remember right his words were "These Ford keys are all alike." That's probably not right (surely not, right?), but it did work between those two...
Both use the same code series (as well as most other Fords in this year range)and use the same mechanical key so they are very much alike. With manufacturing slop, wear on the wafers and key, and in some cases luck; definitely possible to open another vehicle with another key.
