Take one of the door cylinders to the locksmith . . . A good one should be able to make you a key?  I say the door as I think it would be easier than tearing apart the steering column.

I am a locksmith , making a key for the door lock is simple even without a code .
 The door locks do not have a code on them I believe , the ign cylinder will though

new ignition/lockset = @$50+ shipping, installation=PITA

I just had a quote from a locksmith to come out (long drive into the country, so there is an extra $25 in trip fees attached) and he would only charge $85 for the ignition/door (should be same key) and $50 for the trunk/glove (again, should be same key). I'd rather pay the $130 and avoid the other hassles
