New to the board, ignition switch question...

[Orange67]

Hey everyone. I figured it was time for me to quit "lurking" and introduce myself and my truck. My name is Justin, from Utah, and I've got a '67 C20 Custom Camper that I've owned twice. Love this site, absolutely awesome wealth of knowledge, and very cool trucks.

On to my question- I am replacing the ignition lock and key with an original style from Brothers. I figured the ring or nut holding the ignition assembly in the dash would un-screw, but so far it loosened it, and hasn't come out. I am afraid it may be stripped because the nut just spins, gets hard to turn, then gets loose again. Have I missed something, or does anyone have any ideas on how to get this out without destroying it? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
