86 Ranger dash removal

I need help guys. I'm trying to get the dash (plastic around guages, not the whole dashboard) out, and can't figure out where the screws are at the bottom, if there are any. If anyone knows how to get to them, or any tricks to get it out, please let me know ASAP.

Thanks,
Trevor

Here's a pic, it shows the screw locations pretty clearly. The bottom four are under the lower trim pieces, and the top four should be visible by getting down low and looking up under the edge of the dash overhang.

IN cas you need to know how to remove the trim pieces, you will have to pull them off. They each have to metal spring fasteners that poke into holes in the metal of the dash and guide posts. The leftmost has the headlight switch ****, and it must be pulled out of the switchbefore you remove the trim. You have to reach up under the dash, and find the button on the side (drivers, i think) of the switch, and depress the button while pulling the **** out at the same time. Put it back in gently to turn the headlights off..
It can be re-installed by pushing it in until it 'clicks'
