Hi Ken,

All you would need to send me is the ignition cylinder and key and I will change the ignition to match the door cylinders. The cost would be $15.50 + return postage (about 4 bucks) which would include 2 new keys cut to the 9449 code....

If you have trouble getting the ignition cylinder out of the switch let me know. If you wrap the ignition cylinder in some newspaper or paper towel and tape it up you can mail it in a 6x9 padded envelope by USPS First Class Mail for about 4 bucks.

I received the re-keyed ignition cylinder, and door keys yesterday.

The keys work perfectly, and shipping was fast too.

Thanks again

What does it take to convert a 65 ignition switch to one with an accessory position? Do you have access to the necessary parts and can you make it work if provided a key code? This is something I've always wanted to do
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

You would have to install a switch with the accessory position and add the necessary wiring in your wire loom to make it work. It isn't anything I could do from here.

Thanks for the reply. Learned a lot from reading this whole thread the other day, but it got me to thinking when I saw you had access to some vintage lock parts that you may be able to help. If I was to find a 60's car type ignition that has an acc position would you be able to do your magic and make it work in a truck? I of course understand I would have wiring issues to deal with.
Really appreciate all the knowledge you share with the group,
Tom

That should be doable. I have a LOT of vintage lock parts. I may even have a switch, I will have to look. We have moved all of the furniture and are having carpet cleaners coming in the morning so it may not be until the afternoon.

Thanks,
