Hi there.
i own a 1989 Chevy cheyane and had to fix my tilt steering. the same applies to removing the steering wheel and etc to get to the ignition switch as well.
i went to Canadian tire or parts dealer. i had to rent a steering wheel puller etc. remove steering wheel cap, undo main bolt. remove plastic horn cover ( watch out for springs) remove tilt arm. then you have to remove torx screws from base of tilt housing. slide off main collar. you can search on the web for removing or fixing tilt mechanism and it will show you how to do this but it will show you how to remove the ignition system as well. it's not to hard just keep all the parts together and reasemble in same order you took apart. It took me two hours to do this, and i didnt know what i was doing.
good luck.

Ignition Lock? or Door Lock?
With no key you will have to drill out the existing tumbler assembly from the switch in order to unscrew the ignition switch bezel.

Just put a switch in the power wire going to the coil.
On a 1978 Chevy Cheyenne truck, the ignition switch is typically located on the steering column, just behind the steering wheel. You can access it by removing the plastic cover around the column. The key slot will be positioned at the front of the ignition switch, allowing you to insert the key to start the vehicle.
To install an ignition switch in a GMC truck, first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Remove the steering column cover to access the ignition switch, typically located near the ignition lock cylinder. Unscrew the old switch, disconnect the wiring harness, and then attach the new ignition switch, ensuring all connections are secure. Finally, reassemble the steering column cover and reconnect the battery to test the switch.
A bad ignition switch can shut down a vehicle's electrical system. Ignition switches have been the cause of a major recall by General Motors.
Does the truck have stock discs? Why would you want to switch the discs back to drums? Does the truck have stock discs? Why would you want to switch the discs back to drums?
You need to remove the steering wheel first with a puller. There is a latch you can trip with a small screwdriver that will let the ignition switch slide out. Simply replace the switch and put the steering wheel back on.
