On your year, there is a lock cylinder in the column with a rod that connects to the actual switch at the base of the column.
If it's the lock cylinder you really need to change, you'll need a few special tools you can often borrow from a local autoparts supply (like AutoZone).
While you're there, pick up a Chilton's manual. It will have procedures and well as pictures to help you.

You can get a new switch at autozone with new keys.... It's a simple process just take your time and following the manual...It's cheeper than paying dealer prices for it...Like saudade said, autozone will have everything you need...
good luck...
