How to remove the fuse block - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm trying to pull the harness out of a parts vehicle(84 Pickup), got everything loosened but I can't see/figure out how to pull the fuse box off of the firewall. I know there were only two bolts holding it on, and its loose enough to move 1/2" or so in or out. But trying to pull it into the cab the engine side of the box is larger than the opening, and vice versa for the inside. I'm just not seeing how to seperate the two pieces. Anyone got any advice? Thanks.

Did you remove the plugs on the engine side of the firewall? You should be able to pull the fusebox with the interior harness attached after the harness plugs on the engine side of the firewall are pulled loose.

Nope, I was looking at it and didn't even really see how the plugs disconnect. I think i'm just having a bonehead moment but I can't figure out how they disconnect.
