How do I change the key and column switch?

I bought a 82 F100 that did not have a key. This truck is a very clean stepside and I needed to steer the wheels. So I broke the key lock and now need to change it out. Can someone tell me how to remove the cylinder assy and put a new one in. Thanks in advance.

How to change an Ignition Key Lock

I did this recently on a 1986 Ford F-350, but I had a key. The procedures should be the same. Pull the steering wheel. Underneath the key lock you'll see a small 1/8" hole. This is the pin that must be drilled out. Then replace with a new keyed lock, leaving the keys in the assembly until you get it installed. Good Luck
