Color coded instructions on how the wiring should go in my pickup truck ignition
I replaced the ignition cylinder (switch) on my '87 which is basically the same truck. It was pretty simple once I used a steering wheel puller to remove the steering wheel . I don't remember exactly how it was done but I followed the instructions in the haynes manual to remove the steering wheel column cover. There were a few lock rings and bolts to remove but it was pretty straightforward. Sorry I can't give any more detailed instructions.
Remove the steering wheel then the lock plate then the turn signal switch. You will then see a screw close to the side of the lock cylinder. Remove this screw and pull the lock cylinder out. It takes a special tool to remove the lock plate and you can rent then at some parts stores although they aren't very costly.
