take the whole ignition switch out and take it to the locksmith, they should be able to pick it and get the cylinder out - if it has to be drilled out you'll need a new one ohwell

He wants to know how you get it out of the dash, I think.

I lost the key to the parts truck I purchased and I wanted to use the ig switch, so... With my switch inhand, I was able to pick it myself. I have this old worn out Craftmans tool box key that will just about pick anything if you sort of rub it inside on the little do hickies there and keeping pressure on the lock at the same time. Once I had it truned into the on spot i ran a finishing nail down into it.. I may have just gotten lucky...

Good luck, god bless.

Don't know about your truck but my switch is so worn that you can stick any key into it and it will turn on.

That sounds like the key to my 81 Malibu. No teeth at all on it. Will open a lot of GM car doors!
