I had a spare regular key made as I broke my "smart key" so the stealership calls it, off inside it while trying to get it off. Lube it up with some PB Blaster or WD-40 every once in a while and you will be alright.

Tommy if you tape the plastic handle of the brocken chip key to the new plain key it will start the truck so keep it as a spare. you can also use it to program a new chip key available on ebay for around $8

I'm sure they do. But they honestly are more trouble than they are worth. And a replacemt probably wouldn't be cheap.
