Ford Ranger flip key help

I hope this is the right section...
I am trying to find a ford ranger flip key/switchblade key to replace my old fashioned key, it doesnt have to be either of those specifically, as it can be a slide out key
I have looked online and have not been able to find anything....
I have a 96 ford ranger
please help me if you can with a link of some kind to something that will work with my truck

I've seen a number of different versions on eBay. However I've yet to see one that doesn't have buttons. All the ones I've seen mix the key and the keyless entry remote into one unit. Just search on eBay "ford ranger flip key" or something of the like. I find them kind of bulky because I know your current key is pretty streamlined. You will probably need to trim or remove the plastic around the key cylinder on the steering column.

Found this cool link....you don't have to deal with the chip on your truck... 2000-2005 focus flip key how to for $10 (no reprograming needed) - Focus Fanatics

Honestly curious, why would you want to switch?

I always find the old fashioned keys to be the best. Maybe I just don't like the new vehicle tech, but all this push button, and weird keys are kinda annoying to me. Especially dodges. You guys seen what they use for "keys" now? Yuck.
