Is entire metal dash frame removable on 1967-72 Chevy C10
Can the entire metal dash frame be removed on a 1968 Chevy c10 shortbed? I am planning a extensive restoration and was just wondering if the whole unit can be removed or is just the gauge panel and other accessories can only be removed.

There's 2 bolts on each side, that's easy. The front is spot welded to the windshield mount surface...windshield has to come out...not so easy...
Just trying to be specific about what Mark stated... |

And to expand on what those guys both said, there are 34 spot welds to drill...  LockDoc .

Most guys cut across the slotted holes under the dash pad and replace it that way. Still takes some work but not near as much. LockDoc

Hmmm...I wasnt wanting to cut the dash frame out. I thought it might just be bolted in. But its good to know what it takes.
