1984 Nissan 720 4X4, 2.4L Pickup. I purchased a fixer upper, I removed the steering cove to check the ignition switch. I found that the key set/Lock is for a 1/1/4" steering column and it's held on with bailing wire and grinded, now this is scaring the hell out of me. I need the entire keyset/Lock assy for a 17/16" steering column, probably the right one for a 4 wheel drive? I'm not having much luck so far, the only part # I have is 99810-20W27 which is for a tilt wheel but I'm not sure if it's for the larger diameter steering column. If someone has one or knows of a source I would appreciate it.
Thank you

Congrats on the purchase of your 720! That sounds like an interesting rigging of the ignition you've got there.
Take a peek at the FSM for your truck via the link in my signature and see if there is one or two part numbers.

You could also check Rockauto or some of the vendors in our marketplace to see if they have something for your application.
