Can't get the cylinder to come out. Using a paper clip in the small hole, and the ignition key, tried turning forward, backward, starting from the acc position, everything. The key just slides out of the lock when when I pull back on it with the paper clip in there after turning the key. What am I missing here? BTW, it's a 1970 GMC.

Use something that will grip the cyl. Snap ring pliers or needle nose pliers. Turn it to acess. & you can feel the spring pressure on the paper clip. turn it a little further & grab it with something. If it still won,t come you may have to spray some WD 40 or equivelent in it.
