2000 Center Console Lock

Hello all!
I have a 2000 Silverado Z71 that has a lockable center console. Unfortunately, the truck didn't come with a key for it. My local locksmith siad he has never seen a key like that before, and the GMC dealer in town says I have to buy an entire new console top ($172). Does enyone know where to get a replacement key for this? Or how to get the console top apart? It's not that big of a deal, but it would be nice to be able to lock it if I wanted to.

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks a lot! I figured there must be SOME place that has it. I'll be ordering it shortly.

Thanks again!
