I agree with Sheldon that the first step would be to see if the door lock key works in the steering column lock as they were the same key code when the truck was built. At the very least to compare that what is left of the column key with that of the door lock. If one or the other were changed over the years, the best bet is to drill out the column lock cylinder retaining pin from the back of column bracket and send it off to 32phil in NY who may be able to save it or perhaps have a replacement if it cannot be saved as NOS lock cylinders still turn up from time to time. When replacing the lock cylinder in the column bracket, he should tap the retaining pin hole with a #8-32 tap and use a headless set screw to retain the cylinder.


Perhaps a good first step might be to send a p.m. to 32phil and provide him with the rest of Tom's telephone number.
