Just put in new dashpad!
What an ass kicker. The 4 screws in the front were a piece of cake. The 7 nuts on the underneath side flat out suck to get to. Luckily I only had to remove my glovebox. The whole job took about an hour and the rewards were immediate. Amazing how that little dashpad can make your truck look completely different on the inside. One cool thing I discovered was on the underneath side of my dashpad. There was a little inspection sticker from the factory. I guess the thing was installed on 10-2-1971 and inspected by #2. lol. Funny way to find a "birthday" for the truck.

Was the dash pad made on that date, or was that the day it was installed?
That could only be your dash pads birthdate :p

I need to do this soon. Do you have to remove the radio, or just the glove box?
