will the ignition turn with key in it?
if it does turn key to run, with battery disconnected, and insert 1/8" drill into hole on under side of steering column, pull out lockset, do not move anything, install new lockset.
if it does not move than do this. from ford manual:
-disconnect battery ground cable.
-remove steering wheel.
-using channel lock pliers or vise grips, twist lock cylinder cap until it seperates from the lock cylinder.
-using a 3/8" diameter drill, drill down middle of ignition key slot approx. 44mm (1-3/4") until lock cylinder breaks loose from breakaway base of lock cylinder. remove lock cyl. and drill shavings from the lock cylinder housing.
DO NOT DRILL TO DEEP!
-remove retainer, washer, ignition switch and actuator. thoroughly clean drill shavings and all other foreign materials from casting.
-carefully inspect lock cyl. housing for damage from the above operation. if damage is apparent, housing must be replaced.
install your lock cylinder.
good luck!

turn it with screwdriver and follow the first removal instructions.
you can get a lockset anywhere, and if you take the old lockset to a locksmith he can remove key piece and rekey the new lockset to match doorkey.
