Re: ignition switch

Old lock may still be in the dash.

I never throw a car key away and quite often an old worn out one can be jiggled to unlock the switch. Then it is paper clip in the hole, push the little brass pin and pop it out.

You can drill the center out of the tumbler but you still have to get the brass pins out that lock it from turning.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
