Default Won't Start. Broken Ignition?

I have an 85 K10. When I turn the key nothing happens. I still have power to all the non-ignition controlled things like the lights.

My first guess is the ignition is broken.

Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot before I start spending money and taking things apart?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!
