Is the lock cylinder stamped with a name such as Yale? If so, take the number and cylinder name to any reliable locksmith. It's worked for me several times now.

I have a non Ford steering head on my 1924. After much looking and scratching I found two square pins 180 degrees apart that I removed from behind with a small punch and hammer.
