Along with the ignition switch, there's a neutral safety switch that could be bad, VATS key chip relay if you have this, and possibly fusible links near the battery. Other than that, it COULD be the starter relay. The wire from the ignition should be either purple or red at the solenoid. If there is a small black wire at the solenoid, it should come right from the battery. The VATS can definitely open this, better if you don't have the chip key when this happens. Find the procedure to wire around it, at least temporarily until you verify it is not the problem. Good luck.

On most American trucks, there is a steering wheel lock associated with the ignition key, so hot wiring the vehicle may start the engine, but it won't allow you to steer the vehicle. You may have to engage the services of a locksmith ... and have the ignition lock replaced by a mechanic. Eventually you are going to need to have keys made anyway.
