Ignition Switch Key and Door Locks Replacement

The ignition key switch is getting a little loose and has some play in it. Sometimes I have to turn it on and off to get it to start. I see Amazon has kits to replace the key, tumblers in the ignition, door locks and tail gate. It appears it could be a cheap fix, i.e. less than $50. Any thoughts on what is the best fix for this.Thanks for your advice.The lock setup has no intelligence, just an old style simple key. Mileage is 120K. The details of the truck should be in my signature.

On my 96 I bought a new ignition cylinder, took the pins out of old and put in the new one so all was the same.
