Working on my 78 Ramcharger. Found a parts truck. So how do you remove the dash? Done it in cars, but don't see any bolts up by the windshield. I have to wear cheater glasses to work anymore. Really sucks to see under the dash. Don't want to fight this thing. Any help / tips for removal ? Thanks.

On my truck you can see the screws on the top of the dash by the windshield if you know where to look. The windshield does have to come out but once that's done the rest is pretty straight forward.

On my truck I made a small "V" shaped cut in the windshield gasket with a razor knife to get access to the dash mount screws. The after I reinstalled the dash I used a strip of thick vinyl black tape to cover the cuts. Not show quality but it looks OK. I'll try to post some pictures later.
