retrofiting a square to one key

Does anyone know if there is a kit or something that one can get that will retrofit our trucks so that you have one key like the newer GM vehicles have?

Re: retrofiting a square to one key

you can actually take your key cylinders and have them keyed by a locksmith to match your ignition key or you can have the ignition keyed to your lock cylinders

Just a basic square GM key. The kit included a new ignition lock cylinder and 2 door locks. Nothing fancy really, just new stuff using the same key for all.
