taking the dash out

I'm repainting the interior and was wondering if anyone knew of a link to take the dash out. If it can be taken out, any help would be appreciated.

I'm about to do it on my truck to replace the heater plenum assembly. I'll let you know what kind of luck I have.

I got the hanes manual, but it don't show where the darn thing is attached at. Please let me know all the details when you take yours out. Oh and its a 98 b-4000.

It IS a freeking pain in the butt I have a 98 ranger (hence the name) and I took my dash apart to change the dash lights for my cluster and I must say there are more nuts, bolts and scrwes that I think the rest of the truck has.
