You want to know how to hot wire it too, while you're at it? :rolleyes:
Why don't you have the key?
Not with out damaging the lock cylinder or removing the steering wheel and replacing the lock cylinder.

Slide hammer or a large screwdriver.

Take the steering wheel off and take the column apart far enough until the pin has nothing to latch to. Might as well put in a new lock cylinder while you are there.

Or disconnect the shift linkage, and shift the trans from under the truck.

Hit the left side of the steering colunm with a hammer, right in front of the blinker arm. this will expose the liknage that goes down the column to the switch, you can start it with a screwdriver, and it will unlock the steering too!!!! :shaking: Watch out for lights on the front porch, and dont speed, you'll be busted if you get pulled over:flipoff2:

If you want to just take it out of park, you can crawl underneath and disconnect the linkage at the trans and rotate the shifter by hand
