- Is there a way to remove the ignition lock cylinder WITHOUT destroying the steering column? We do not have the key. Local locksmith says he can make us a key from the door lock cylinder (easily removed) for $60, but that's a $60 gamble/hunch/hope that the doors still match the ignition after 42 years. View attachment 142228 Any and all help/suggestions would be truly appreciated. FWIW, we have already tried the 50 some odd "extra" keys we have in a box, wiggling, etc, to see if we could find a close match, but no luck.
Thanks,
Gene
