Dashboard removal

Does anyone know how to remove the dashbaord on a 2003 F-250?
I need to remove the piece around the instrument panel/radio. I also need to remove the glove compartment. Is it possible to remove the cover for the passenger side airbag?

It just pulls right off ,you can remove the plastic piece from around your instrument cluster and radio by simply pully foward the back of it carefully from the seem to the main dash piece, you need to put the trans in low to take off all the way.
as far as the glove box locate the skrews inside it and remove .
I would'nt mess with the air bag cover I think it's attached to the airbag.

I don't know if this will help at all, but I had to drop my headliner in order to install my clearance lights, and in doing so, I had to remove the corner pillar pieces,which I did by removing the two screws that holds the grab handles in place, then pulling out. Those pieces kind of wedge down into the top portion of the dash. Once removed, there is a space between the end of the dash and the frame. Also, I removed the radio to install an upgrade and it seems like the dash is one piece. I don't know if the top piece itself can be removed.

Oh, I am located in NYC. Nassau county border.
