Every vehicle I have has a hidden set of keys, problem is finding them. So Kelly where you located. I am near Naches or Selah.

CRAP. The truck was running, I hadn't unlocked the passenger side, and I had no key for the passenger door, aside from the one in the ignition. PANIC

This here handy little gizmo works really well for wing windows: https://store.z-tool.com/products/wing-window-tool
So, every early square comes with it's own door unlocking tool. As long as the hood is not the cable release type (option on early squares) open the hood. Remove the bail wire that holds the brake master cylinder lid on. Snake the bail wire under the vent window rubber, twist it around and pull the vent window latch forward.

The bail wire works just like the tool Sad Sack posted. Newer squares take 1 second longer, you need to pull the release button in with wire tool before twisting the vent latch.
