1994 F150 300-6 Manual Long Bed Crew Cab Ignition question.

Okay so I inherited a truck when my Grandfather passed away and In the moving the truck or When it was parked 3 years ago due to a dead CPU box, The Key was lost. Now I have a truck that has a few problems that I know of and been sitting for 3 years. But The main topic is, How can I remove the ignition Cylinder if I don't have the Key? I know the truck has theft protection.. If It isn't possible to just remove the cylinder, What steps do I have to take to replace it? I'm not looking for the Best most expensive way too fix it. I'm just wanting to get the truck to move under it's own power, Due to the fact that it's in the way and the only way I can tow it is a 98 Mustang...... So Yeah That wont work.

Remove thumb tab, grab it with pair of channel locks or sutiable snap it off.

Take a 3/8" drill bit drill down center of lock to very near bottom of keyway (approximately 1 1/4 inch).

I'll drill easy its pot metal, remove the brass pins once drilled out. At that point you will be able to rotate the tumbler (what's left of it) to the "Run" position, once in run position push release button and pull tumbler out.

Release button is on the bottom of the column under the tumblers position, small hole in lower column cover allows access to it without removal. First time might be easier/quicker to simply remove the lower cover so you can see it rather than fish for it.
Small metal button about 1/8" in diameter, push it in pull tumbler out tumbler in run position.

Does not damage column, vac up all shavings (lay paper on floor before starting catches a lot of it).
Push new tumbler into place, do not turn key in the new tumbler until fully locked into place in column.

This wasn't your question (danr answered that), but Ford didn't make a crew cab F-150 in '94. Your's is more likely to be a SuperCab (smallish back seat, only 2 doors so you have to tilt the front seat forward to get in the back seat. If it is a crew cab (full size rear seat, four doors) then it's an aftermarket conversion.

Another possibility is that it's not an F-150 but is an F-250 or F-350. A quick, simple check is number of lug nuts on each wheel. F-150s have 5, F-250s and F-350s have 8.

I'm not saying this to jump on you for an error, just to help you understand what you have. There are a lot of parts shared between the different models, but knowing what you have will m,ake it more likely that you'll get the parts (and help) you need.

If it is a true crew cab F150, it is most likley a Centurion conversion, they did build them, Ford did not.

These trucks did not have any sort of chip key or factory installed electronic security of any sort. If it does have a security system it is aftermarket.
