I can third that. Any ignition/door key can open all the gas doors. At least in the first few years of production.

i believe the lock on the gas door was only through 81 or 82. 83 and up model years did not have the key lock on the gas door. all of the gas doors are the same dimentionally and will bolt up to any SA or FB. the kicker is that there is no remote fuel door release on the SA. thus you will have to use a keyed version.
