I am replacing my hacked-up OEM dash with a replacement dash that only has the speedo/column/relocated glovebox. I installed a Centech harness in the late 90s and it works fine, but the Centech ignition switch looks ugly, the key is pathetic and looks like it's for a golf cart, and if I am going to put a better switch in. Now is the time to do it since I have to drill a new hole anyway.
QUESTION: Has anyone used a more modern type key/switch? I don't have doors, so I am not concerned about matching keys. My truck is not close to being an original, so that is not an issue. I would actually prefer a more modern "fullsize" type key if possible. I have also been looking at keyless push button start (with a FOB as the proximity key) like my newer vehicles have, but that may be a hassle with Bronco that often requires some cranking to start. I would consider it though if anyone had any success (carb'd with electric choke).
To clarify, I need some type of key for security, be it metal or a fob or whatever. Its not an offroad only type vehicle that I can just use a pushbutton start.
Thanks
