I do not know about your local locksmiths but all the locksmiths around where I live will not touch re-pining the locks unless you provide all of the parts they need to do the job.
That includes the pins (wafers), nose cap and the wafer cap(if ignition).
I had change the combination myself for the Ignition to match the doors as my wife did not want to carry two keys for the truck. Took the wafers out of the old cylinder and put them in the new cylinder.

I haven't tried to get the locks decoded yet at a locksmith. I used to do VW locks way back in the 80's so I guess I could try the locks on the Ford. Prying the bezel off doesn't look like it goes back together too pretty.

I don't know what i'm doing!!!! At this point I'd like to just buy a doors and ignition lock set so I guess I'm still looking for someone that sells what I'm looking for. It seems like it should be easier to do than it is!

As I say, I'm not a locksmith but locks are interesting to me so like most anything I'll give it a shot. Nothing difficult about these except that darn cap. They make replacement caps that have 3 or 4 tabs on them that can be put back on MUCH easier than the original cap. I should have went with that instead of buying a tool and trying to use the original. Junkyard locks are a dime a dozen and you can build an assortment of wafers, procure the replacement caps and you're good to go. It's a matter of originality/challenge vs cost. I'm poor/cheap and love a challenge so "🎼 I did it my waaaaaaay.🎤"

This seems like a lot of trouble just to carry one less key on the key ring. The ignition lock cylinder takes all of 30 seconds to replace (as long you have a functional key) and the door locks may take an hour combined. I have had a couple Broncos and if memory serves me correctly even my '94 still needed the round key for the tailgate. You could have had them replaced by now but to each his own.

I am pretty sure if the ignition switch is the same between the 87/97 and the 92/97

THE Ignition Lock Cylinder was the same for the F-series from 1980-1991.
Then a different Ignition Lock Cylinder was the same for the F-series from 1992-1995.
Then again a different Ignition Lock Cylinder was the same for the F-series from 1996-2007.

But the 92+ trucks only use ONE key for the doors, ignition, console and glovebox
