Tips on Removing GMC 305 V6 Engine + 3sp trans

[1963c-10]

Worse parts on removing an original front end in my opinion is the radiator to frame bolts (x2) and the lower outer fender to cab bolts. The rest normally come out pretty easy.

Other than those, you have two bolts at the inner fender to firewall, two upper fender bolts on the sides of the cab (you will have to remove the fender extensions), one inner fender to cab bolt per side, remove the auxiliary cover for the inner fender at the driver side steering column and the wiring at the fire wall, battery and starter. With a set of hands it can be done pretty quick. I also like to remove the front bumper and outer brackets.....just makes it nice to be able to walk around the front end without banging up your legs.
