Just be careful taking it out, the studs can scratch the paint if you're not careful and be sure to get the two nuts off of the corners to the right of the glove box and to the left of the cluster. They are down a bit of the curve in the dash.

Oh, and the truck is looking great. I love the stance of it. Are you going to use the hub caps still or are you just going to sport the painted rims?

I'm done with the exterior, not even going to paint it. I just want to recover the seat, put in a roller 302 and upgrade the exhaust
