How to remove dash? Need help fast!

I need to pull the dash from my truck. What all needs to come out and do I need any special stuff? Does the steering column need to be removed?

And you just need to poke around and find all the hidden fasteners

OP has a bricknose, that writeup is for an OBS dash.

It's pretty much like Brad said... get the column out of there and start removing bolts. Put them in a bag and label where they came from. Here's a post for a bricknose: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...ml#post3975458

Once you get it loose it will be obvious what else you need to remove.

My bad, mobile view doesn't show signatures to show what truck you have.

Ended up swapping it and wasn't too difficult. Took a few hours but I didn't have to totally remove the column. Just lowered it and left the steering shaft on
