It looks like you have this style of ignition, which is made for non foot start:

I installed a similar ignition and EZ Wiring harness in my '51 yesterday with no problems. Here's the wiring I did:

Red=Bat
Purple= Sol
Orange= Acc
Brown=Ign
Pink=Ign

Also, any locksmith can re-key the ignition to accept the original key. Just take it to them before you install it in the truck.
