    Go to a locksmith, or a GM dealer.
    If you really want to get crazy, there’s enough tutorials online that might help you.

    without registration in your name…

    you can remove the door lock. its not that hard.

    a lock smith can figure out the combination by examining the wafers and cut a key.

    drilling the ignition lock cylinder till it turns to the run position… remove the column shroud… it takes a E-4 Torx Socket not a torx bit to do that… there is a hole on top to use a probe into while you turn the remaining drilled lock cylinder to the cranking position and the lock pops out… replacement locks are available with keys and with a bunch of wafers to allow you to change the combination to fit an existing key… or leave all the parts out and no key is needed…

    most parts stores have the door lock cylinders in stock… so coded door lock cylinders (with 2 keys) and an Uncoded ignition lock cylinder that you key up to the new door keys…

      I had all of the same knowledge and information, but I do appreciate the information I wanted to do it as cheap as I could because as of this point, I’m just trying to get it unlocked to move the vehicle as it has been sitting in the same spot for 17 years my next step was actually to go to the door lock but as you should know, the door lock is to cuts off from the ignition therefore the other two has to be a guess
