How can I byp the steering column lock function in my 2000 Silverado electronically? Or mechanically?

I added a toggle switch and push-on starter to my truck so that I can turn the ignition on (toggle) and start the engine (push on) all without the key. The only problem is that the steering wheel remains locked until you turn the key to the ON position. I think GM did this for all their vehicles around 2000. They might still. Anyway, I'd like to be able to drive the truck without ever putting the key in the ignition, so is there a way I can disable or byp the steering wheel lock feature? I'm not sure if it's electrical (a wire) or mechanical (an actual lock that engages and disengages). Thanks for your help.
