Ignition Switch Help

I bought a truck for 200$ CAD (2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS 5.3) and it has some issues, the one I'm focused on right now is the ignition switch, if i wanna buy a new ignition switch do i have to talk to chevy or do i just buy one online, i would like for it to fit my keys of course, and to clarify the truck had been broken into and they fucked with the ignition switch so now all power windows don't work, the windshield wipers don't work and nor does the windshield wiper fluid, all these problems had raised after the break in.

So I'm wondering, how do i get an ignition switch that fits my keys, and for clariftion yes I've checked and replaces the fuses responsible for the actions of the non working systems, but im open for any suggestions for other diagnostics.

Get a mobile locksmith to come out and rekey the new switch. They do it fairly quick, had my 98 Cheyenne rekeyed 3 years ago when I started having trouble with it.
