The Old Start Your Truck Without Key In The Ignition Thing!
 
So how do you fix this? How many others have this problem? I just got a 78' and I'm going through it trying to fix all the little problems and this ones seems like it should be on the top of the list. :ito:

Thanks.

Do you have a heavy key ring? my moms car did the same thing, and we think it was because of the heavy huge keyring she has.. or had. we had to replace the cylinder.

My key falls out of the ignition when it's turned on, but it still won't turn w/out the key, yet......

I use to get new ( to me ) GM vehicles in the 80's and 90's and "Jerk" the key out with it in the run position, just so I didn't have to fiddle with keys. :lol: I also know a guy that breaks the key off in the ignition in everything he buys. Of course we're kind of Rednecks though...:lol:
