You will just need to replace the ignition switch itself.
should take you about 45 minutes to a hour to replace.
you will need a steering wheel puller and a compression tool to depress the compression plate to get to where the ignition screw is.
make sure you weight the cost of getting these tools and the cost of a new ignition switch - to - just having a automotive locksmith come out and replace the switch in about 20 minutes and a cost of about 85 dollars ( depending on where you live -- call around and ask for the price ).

You only need to replace ignition switch.
SOURCE: 1992 bronco fullsize won't turn
I had a similar problem with an '86 Bronco. It would start just fine but wouldn't turn off. The problem I experienced was with the linkage between the key switch and the ignition switch. When you start the truck it pushes the linkage, when you turn it off it pulls the linkage. A very small pin had fallen out that allowed the key switch to pull the linkage back and turn off the ignition switch. I wasn't able to find a replacement part and ended up drilling and tapping the hole where the pin went and making my own "threaded in" pin (used lots of loctite). You really have to take a lot of the steering column apart to get to the piece in question. If you are still having the problem contact me thru FixYa and I'll send you the diagrams I have.
