76 F150 Ranger

im going to pick up a 76 f-150 ranger for parts tomarow... how do you get the door panels off these kinds of trucks? ive taken off the latch handle, the window crank handle, and the 2 screws in the door pull/armrest, but i cant figure out for the life of me how to get the rest off..

what would a 390 out of this be worth? i plan to rebuild it before i sell it. also what would the tranny behind it be worth? (im guessing C6?)

The early trucks got a wire style friction fastener, some 78's & up
got a White plastic friction pin fastener.

If you have an upholstery remover they work good.
Make sure you pull out around where the fastener is or you risk snapping off a piece panel.
