Until we get going on paint removal, I went after the ignition lock.
This truck had, at some point, four separate keys (ignition, drivers door, passenger door and tool box compartment. I had keys remade for both doors hoping that one of them would fit the ignition. NOPE.
So I ordered a new matching set of ignition and both doors and then found the thread that describes drilling out the ignition to remove it.

To my amazement it all came out in about 5 minutes with three increasing sized bits. Once again, the forum comes up aces.
