If you've already stripped the dash you have a head start. There are 7 slots in the top of the dash and at least 5 holes across the front. In addition, you may have 2 screws each in the defroster vents. All these locations have nuts under the dash that screw onto studs protruding from underneath the dash pad. At least I think that's all of them. Mine didn't have a dash pad on it but I have one I expect to install. Remove the nuts and gently pry up, from underneath, until it's free. You may have to stick a scraper up under there and work it a little, they may stick. I'll see if I can get a couple of photos for you tomorrow.

Here's those photos I promised. Pardon the nastiness of my cab, it's been sitting awhile waiting on paint money. And here's a couple of different ways to upload photos. http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... w=previous and http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... 19&t=60087 the key point is the file size. The photos can be no larger than 500 kb. You may need to resize or crop to get it down to that size using a photo editor like Photoshop, Paint, etc. From what I can in your pic, you've got a really clean dash there. Hope this helps!

Pull your glovebox, ash tray, radio, heater vent tubes, and guage cluster, you can then feel your way around and find all the nuts. i believe they are a 3/8? its been a while since i have stripped one.
