 Why remove the key switch?  Leave it in, AND add a seperate start 
switch way under the dash like I did.  Even better, use a 
manual starter button instead of a solenoid.  This will leave 
you with an extra circuit off of your key switch, good for 
maybe rigging a really loud "get out of my truck" alarm.

Winter arrived last night, as I was madly trying to reattach 
doors, windows, and everything else to keep the inside of my 
truck dry.  Now that's a pile of parts to replace in the 
middle of the night!
