Re: 69 c10 rebuild - removing the dash pad

More specifically, there are about 6-8 speed nuts on the underside of the pad, behind the dash. You can get to them easiest with the glovebox and gauge cluster removed, but the center ones can still be a pain. Since you said the cab is gutted, you may just be able to reach behind with a nut driver and get them off. Good luck! I installed mine with everything in the cab, what a pain haha

There is also one on the backside in each corner, those are the biggest pain in the a... in my opinion...
