I have done this before years ago...but its been a while. If I remember correcttly, you use a paper clip in the two small holes in the chrome housing to remove the tumbler.

Does anyone know ??

Does the ignition have to be in a certain spot (off,acc,ign)

When the truck was given to me, it came with no keys....and I could start it with no keys...but the ignition only goes to off..not to lock.

I bought a complete lock kit from Truck Stop.....Does anyone know how to do this ???

Thanks guys....

John
