with a key, you insert the key, turn it ( i can't remember which way) then push a bent paper clip or something like that in that little hole in the tumbler. It should release to allow the ring around the lock to unscrew.

good luck

This is a link to GMC Paul's Web-site Tips section that explains the removal process with the key.
GMC Paul's Tips
Without the key would be a mystery to me but it may include a pair of vise-grips.
GMC Paul's tips have some valuable information on these old trucks. Check it out and buy some stuff and help to support this board.

Have fun
