Need a key for 1985 Nissan pickup
You should be able to give the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to the dealer of a good locksmith and have them make you a key. It should be located on the dash drivers side where you can see it through the glass.
Clutch
I have the same old truck, I recently replaced the clutch slave cylinder because it was leaking. The fluid ran low and I could just barely get it into gear with the engine running and when letting out the clutch, it would engage too soon. Then I realized the fluid was low, so I replaced the slave cylinder. It was not very hard at all, just a little tricky. I had to remove a crossbeam that was in the way, that's it, and it was better to attach the hydraulic line before mounting the slave cylinder. Actually I don't think it would be possible to attach the line after mounting it. Mine has the removable plunger pin, so I mounted the cylinder, then was just able to squeeze in the pin between the plunger and clutch lever. I made sure to put enough Teflon tape on the hydraulic fitting. No leaks now, works good. Refilled the master cylinder with normal brake fluid and bled the line a little. I had to pump the clutch petal nearly 20 times for it to build up full pressure so it felt right again after bleeding. I would say it was an easy repair and I'm a computer tech not a mechanic.
