1997 5.7l V8 ext. cab. How can I replace ignition switch?

How do I fix the ignition switch in my 1997 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? It's a 5.7L V8 ext. cab. Someone tried to hot-wire it and they broke the ignition switch(I have to use a screwdriver to turn it on). They also broke the turn signal switch(doesn't work properly and turn off at times) and emergency lights switch(doesn't turn off).

You will need to take the steering column apart to replace the switches. You will need specific tools to do it also.

Tryin to hook up radio i have to run a wire to the ignition fuse just dont know where it is for chevrolet silverado 1500 ext cab 2wh drive sc1 model

To hook up a radio you should actually locate the Acc. wire that comes off the ignition switch. There must be a wire or plug in the area where the radio fits and this should supply current when the key is selected to Acc and beyond. Connecting the radio anywhere else could damage computer circuits or other electronic components.
