with a key, you insert the key, turn it ( i can't remember which way) then push a bent paper clip or something like that in that little hole in the tumbler. It should release to allow the ring around the lock to unscrew.
good luck david

This is a link to GMC Paul's Web-site Tips section that explains the removal process with the key.
GMC Paul's Tips Without the key would be a mystery to me but it may include a pair of vise-grips. GMC Paul's tips have some valuable information on these old trucks. Check it out and buy some stuff and help to support this board. Have fun
