Front clip removal

I need to do some welding on fron mounts. So I think I will remove the front clip on my 51 F3. Does the radiator stay, as well as the inner fenders? How many bolts? Thanks guys.

I was able to remove the bolts at the bottom of the radiator support t the crossmember and then the bolts at the back of the fenders to the cab and everything came off as a unit

When you say everything, do you mean the inner fenders as well?
