69 442 help!
My house was broken into and they stole the keys to my 69 442
They decided to steal my truck rather than the flashy garage queen thank God but Im moving on Saturday and have no means to move it, the ignition is on the column, how the heck do I change those out without drilling the old ignition out and possibly ripping up my car!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Failing that, remove the steering wheel, lock plate, and turn signal switch from the end of the column. You can remove the lock cylinder by inserting a small flat blade screwdriver in the slot circled in the attached photo. Once the cylinder is out, you can start the car and unlock the column with a screwdriver. Reinstall all the parts to drive the car. The ignition lock cylinder can be snapped in at any time.
Well, first, that doesn't unlock the steering column. Second, the starter solenoid is under the car on the starter, and third, you would still need to run a hot wire to the coil to keep it running.

You may want to just buy a new cylinder and door locks. If they have the keys, you don`t want them to find the car. Even if you are moving, you can never guarentee they won`t find or see the car somewhere and try to take it. Afterall, they do have the keys. Like Joe described, it`s fairly easy to change.
