The stainless steel cap can probably be found in most GM parts departments, if you have to resort to taking the cylinder apart. They used the same caps until the late 90's on some GM vehicles.

Check for a broken off key, then douse it good with penetrating oil (like WD40)- sometimes the pot metal cylinder gets crusty and you can work it loose without disassembly. The tumblers and springs in the cylinder can try your patience if you haven't dealt with them before.
