How to unlock the steering wheel on a 1981 Thunderbird without a key?

My father-in-law lost the keys to the car, and I don't care to buy a new key due to the fact that I'm parting it out. I just want the steering column unlocked so I can tow it. Any thoughts?

Thanks

If you don't care about it then use a slide hammer to pop the lock out like a car thief would do or put a pipe wrench on the outer edge of the cylinder and twist it until it breaks out of the column. Good luck.

You can also drill out the cylinder to get to that locking pin.
