Suspension problem 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 145000 miles

My truck's ignitiion lock locked up on me with the key in and the engine on and I am unable to turn it to the OFF position at all. Had to shut it off by disconnecting the batteries. Anyway, I have a replacement cylinder, I have pulled the steering wheel off, taken off the first ring (iff you will) that is held in place by two small screws with a torx head. Now I am stuck. I can not seem to figure out how to proceed from here. Hand an all help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

BTW - I doubt this matters but this is a 6.5 turbo diesel.

Hello

First off, is this vehicle equipped with tilt or standard steering column? Also, is it floor or column shift?
