i lost the keys to my truck about a month ago and it has been sitting in the parking lot all that time...and she doesnt even work there anymore. so i need to find a way to drive it again. i was thinking wiring a a switch for the ignition and a button for the starter...would that work and if so what wires are what. or any way to get another key fro the dealer or something...i have a 93 ram 50 2.4

Pull one of the door lock cylinders out and take it to a locksmith. They should be able to "key" the cylinder fairly easily and shouldn't charge too much since you're bringing the lock to them.

Cordless drill to get out the lock cyl. Use a screw driver to turn the switch. Or A jumper wire from the pos. side of the battery. To the pos side of the coil. Jump the starter with a screw driver.

locksmith was no go, door has 2 less tumblers than ignition switch and the dealership didnt have the code....so i just drill out the keyhole and shove a screw driver in there?

Any locksmith that knows what they are doing can cut a key off the passenger side door lock. I know what I'm talking about, I've only done this around 50 times.
I've heard the exact opposite Mike. I had to use my drivers side on my old Yota pickup cause it was less guess work to add the other stuff for the ignition switch
