How does one remove a 1967 Chevrolet truck ignition lock cylinder from the ignition switch when the key does not allow you to turn the switch to the lock position?
Try jiggling the steering wheel from side to side as you attempt to turn the key to the lock position.

'67 Chevy trucks do not have the lock in the column.
1967 Chevrolet trucks do not have a lock or accessory position. With the key in the ignition and the switch in the off position insert the end of a large paper clip or similar tool into the hole in the face of the lock cylinder. You will feel a spring loaded pin in the hole and you need to depress it. When you have the pin depressed turn the ignition cylinder further to the left. When the cylinder turns to the left you have to pull the wire out to finish turning it or it will bind. The cylinder should pull out. You can also turn it too far after you pull the wire out. That is when you have to wiggle the cylinder back and forth a little bit. If you wiggle it too much the pin will pop back out and you will have to start over. You should not have to put excessive turning pressure on it or push down hard on the spring loaded pin. Gentle and patience are the key words here...
If you don't have a key the code number should be stamped on the door lock cylinder, sometimes one, sometimes both. The only time I have found one that didn't have the code stamped on it is when the lock had been replaced with a new one. Check the passenger door first. Generally the lock case will have to be cleaned very well to be able to see the code number. A small wire brush, steel wool, scotch bright, or sandpaper usually works well for this. I do not recommend a wire wheel because it will completely remove the code number if it is stamped lightly. The code number is always stamped into the lock case, never cast into it. Most locksmiths can cut a key from this code number. Home centers and hardware stores will not be able to do this. If the locks are original to the truck or were all replaced at the same time the key made from the code number on the door lock should fit the ignition switch.
