I have to wiggle the key switch and turn it at same time on 1998 truck to get it to turn on, anyone else have this type of problem. some times you wiggle a little and turns and other time got wiggle jiggle and cuss for awhile before it turns. never just turns

Your key is worn most likely. Its not pushing the brass shims enough to align them to release the lock. You need a new key, but it need to be made from your VIN number. Your local Chevy dealer, may be able to help you, or you can always replace the lock and key assembly.
