A mobile locksmith can come over and cut you keys without you taking the truck apart. I had keys made for 2 previous trucks that way. For the money I was thrilled I didn't have to do anything

Hmmm, I'll have to make a call and see how much it is.

How worn down does the ignition look? Did you try the key from your other blazer? Worth a shot if you hadn't tried already.
yeah, I tried every GM key I could find. I was actually kinda surprised none worked. The lock must be in pretty good condition.
For $30 you could replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder. no drilling required.
You'd still have to drill it to get the old one out. You need a key to pull the old lock cylinder.
Not if you replace the switch and put in a new cylinder
I've had to replace mine and you just need these two

Hmmm, for some reason I was under the impression that you couldn't get the switch out with the lock cylinder in place. It's been awhile since I've done it though. I'll take a look.

Heck, it’s a Chevy. Just jam a big ‘ol flathead screwdriver in the key slot and crank it up. Works every time.

I now know that i will never finish this truck.
Nice try, but it's too late. He's bit . Lol
I was able to get the ignition switch and lock cylinder out. As I remembered, the ignition switch is supposed to keep the ignition switch bezel from being able to fully release without removing it, but I was able to screw it out most of the way, then just break the lock cylinder to get it the rest of the way out.
I got a chance to take a few more pics and there is some good stuff and bad stuff.
rear hatch is in great shape! All the pieces are there and I should be able to get it working once it's lubed up a bit and put back together.
spare tire carrier. I'm sure I'll find someone who wants/needs it.
Steering wheel has seen better days.
Drivers side damage.

Once I get a new lock cylinder and get it running, I'll put it up on the lift and get some pics from underneath. I need to pull up the carpet still and get a look at the floors, but it has all of the original sill pieces so I can't just flop it back. Floors do feel solid when I bang on them though, so I'm hopeful.
