It might not be the key that's worn, but rather the tumblers in the key cylinder switch itself.
Does your truck have a separate door key from the ignition key? If so, you might try finding a new replacement key cylinder switch and just changing it out. Since it's mounted in the dash I doubt that it locks the steering column or anything fancy like that.

I removed the lock cylinder from the ignition and flushed it out good with lots of WD-40. Unfortunately it didn't work, and the thing jammed for good.
I went over to the local auto parts store and they sold me a replacement lock cylinder with 2 Ford style keys for about $10. That adds another key to my ring but it seems to work okay now. I'm going to buy a second one and carry it in my tool box for a spare, just in case. Thanks for your advice.
