Push button builds ?

I found several posts where people remove the key ignition and added a push button start but I wanted to see if anyone just added a push button start to where you had to turn your key and then use the button to start it. I see it as more of a secuirity issue in case someone has your key and then tries to steal your truck but can't start it cuz they can't figure out where the push button is. My truck has an auto choke and just has the joke lever in its spot useless. Im thinking i could add a push button and some how use the knob to keep it hidden . and from what i read on the cylinder switch diagram it should be as easy as removing the wire that starts the truck from thekey switch then runing the wire that runs power to everything when it gets turned on, to the push button then to the wire cut on the switch to complete the circuit. Any one have any input on what i have so far.

Re: Push button builds ?

you could always add a couple kill switches inline and hide them as well.

Ididit has a system that fits in your steering column.

I don't have one but it's a neat gadget.
