Ignition switch

So all I have is a generic Ignition Switch from some auto parts store. I bought a new Ford truck ignition cylinder and keys but, of course, it will not fit in the switch. Anyone know where I could get an old ignition switch so I can install my new cylinder? 1956

B5A-11572-A .. Ignition Switch (Motorcraft SW-270) Fits: 1956/60 F100/1000 / 1955-56 Passenger Cars

B9A-11582-A .. Cylinder & Keys ~ Ignition Switch (Motorcraft SW-278) Fits: same as above

FAB-11584-B .. Ignition Switch Bezel / Fits: 1953/56 All Trucks / 1952/56 Passenger Cars

If you have a gypo switch, you will also need the cylinder and keys, and the bezel. The switch and cyl & keys are available, the bezel..??

Did you get 1953/60 cyl & keys?

1957/72 cyl & keys won't fit the B5A switch.

There's also a spring -- goes around the barrel and holds the whole mess against the bezel.
