The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks Ignition switch tumbler removal POLLACK SWITCH?

My 66 has a newer Pollack ignition switch and I have the key for it. I purchased a whole new lock set that came with both doors, glove box and ignition tumbler. I can’t find any information how to remove the tumbler from the Pollak switch. I called the company tech line and the guy told me he doesn’t know how to do it nor is there any written instructions available on their site. He suggested I get a locksmith. None of the Pollack switch’s have a model number on them????? It’s a standard 4 position switch with accessories to the left and on or run to the right along with momentary start to the far right. It has approximately 1/8” hole in the bottom of the housing.

I hate to break it not knowing. The replacement tumbler is an AC Delco type with the 2 holes for a paper clip that I’m familiar with. Turn is to ACC....insert the clip and keep turning to the left.

This switch fits my painless harness with a nice plug. I’d like to keep it.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

It's unlikely you'll be able to swap tumblers. If the slot pattern on the aftermarket switch is the same as the GM key, have a locksmith re-key it so the GM key will work in both the doors and the ignition.
