Hi all. Have an ignition problem I don't know how to solve on my 77 C10 with tilt steering. I replaced the ignition switch a few months ago. The other day at a store, I got in to go home and the key turned all the way, no ignition. So I had to unmount the switch and manually operate it. Got home, then hopped on my bike to run to pick up a new lock cylinder. Put that in, but it does not move the rod that is supposed to operate the ignition switch. Any idea how to dig into that to see what broke and if there's a part to replace it with? Thanks

Most likely the ignition rack.
