1994 ranger with no keys
So I bought my fourth ranger today and the previous owner lost the keys he is a friend of mine so I know and trust the truck runs but I can't figure out how to get the lock cylinder out in order to replace it I tried drilling out the retaining pin with no such luck any ideas? here's a few pics got it for $500 with no keys and in need of a clutch I don't think that was to shabby

Good Locksmith can cut keys on the spot, but have no idea of what it cost in your area.
I had a set done on a 87 Mustang I bought years back, guy did them while I stood there.

Pull the steering colum and replace it with one thst has a key from a parts truck or scrap yard. Easy to do on a gen 2 dash.

I think I'm missing something here, did you drill into the ignition cylinder?

Re: 1994 ranger with no keys
Well I'm contemplating just throwing a switch panel in it at this point because I'm cheap and drilled to deep on the ignition cylinder anyone see a major problem with it?

If it was me I would bite the bullet and replace the cylinder with an OEM.

It's not the cost of the cylinder those aren't expensive it's the time and money I'm gonna spend trying to replace the entire column because I drilled to deep it's only a $500 ranger I'm gonna drive it until I feel a little more comfortable to buy a new full size next year then it's going to become a dune and trail bomb so the switch panel doesn't bother me
