Re: Can The Front Clip Be Unbolted From The Cab In One Piece?...

Congrats on the score. The dash is removed by removing the windshield and rubber, following by removing three 1/2" hex head bolts on each side, that secure the dash to the "A" pillar. Then you must drill out several spot-welds along the lip joint where the dash and windshield bottom opening meet. I suggest using a spot-weld cutter from the outside, in order to avoid drilling through both the cab lip and dash lip. This makes it easier weld and clean up the welds when installing the dash in another cab.

Three guys and I transferred a cab shell from one trailer to another last weekend, without much grunting or any strained backs. As you discovered, the entire front dog house can removed and transported in one piece by removing the bolts at the inner fender-to-firewall, the front fender tail-to-cab and the radiatior support-to-frame rail, along with any wiring & plumbing connecting the front sheetmetal to the engine or frame. It will stay together much better if you leave the hood on it and latched.

Keep us posted on your progress.
