How do you start a car without a key?

on the left side of the steering column remove the knob and rod(the one that adjust the steering wheel height) that goes into the steering column. stay on the left side (you are bypassing the key switch) look in the column and you see a rod that goes down the column. use the rod that you removed earlier to push that rod toward the dash. push like crazy you are trying to break a little metal clip in the switch. when it breaks you just push that down. push it a little you are the acc mode. push it a little more and it is the on position. push it some more and the motor will start. hold it in the on position while driving the truck or the steering column will lock and no steering from there. i know you wanted a simple way like they do in movies. sorry no cutting and touching of wires together is required. this is not hard to do and can be done in under a minute if you what you are doing.
