Tilt Column Question

Well i just had christmas today. I finally got a nice tight tilt column from the junkyard. Our local yard chargers 24 bucks for one with all switches and steering wheel. The, column, however, does not have the keys and the steering wheel is locked. Anyone know if its going to be hard to unlock without the keys and switch out the ignition switch with my original one?

Not too hard at all. I've replaced mine before and it can be done but it's going to be harder without the keys. If you can get it to turn over with a prybar gently applied you can get it to work for you.
