Restoring Rusty

Could this been the problem with your truck not wanting to start the first go around? Little electrics are a pain in the butt aren't they.

Actually no sir, the switch is fine, I was able to get the truck to turn over by manipulating it with a flat screw driver, you know sliding that black slider back and forth to simulate key movement

I think a broken Ignition Lock Cylinder is more like the culprit as the end part has broken into three pieces, it is that part that pushes on a metal rod which runs down the steering column down to the actual ignition switch, it's how they did back in the day, when Mechanical Solutions ruled the world

In your photo you are missing the outer case to that cylinder. It is still in the column I am assuming.
