I went out to drive the '60 panel-
truck this morning.I put the key in the
ignition,and....wouldn't turn at all.I
messed with it for quite a while,but it
still wouldn't budge.
Then I got the bright idea of removing the switch from the dash.I started unscrewing the piece that held it in place,but it got to where it wouldn't keep unscrewing.
What should I do?What am I doing wrong?

You may need an ignition switch removal tool like my 57' Chev requires. You may be able to remove the tumbler by inserting a paper clip wire into the small hole on the face.

Mine has the hole that you can put a paperclip
into,but you have to turn the key to get it to release.
I finally got it out,but I had to pry the outside
housing nut off to get to it.Now I'll have to replace
the lock assembly.
