I called a lock smith It cost $70.00 for one to come out to the car. A new switch cost $11.00. The car is about forty miles from the nearest lock smith that can do what you were talking about.My daughter lives in a very small town out in western OK. Nothin but coyotes and prairie dogs for miles. Nearest store is 18 miles away. RUSTY

Rusty,
I just found this link also;

Good pics of what you can expect inside the column

ps. both links deal with the dreaded loose pivot bolts that create a wobbly column, you don't need to tear into it past the ignition lock cylinder if not needed......if those 4 bolts are loose that the links refer to you can tighten them up without hafing to remove the pivot pins....you can snake a 6 point 1/4" socket an a swivel extension down several openings and tighten the bolts
