i am replacing my radiator support and i can't for the life off my figure out how to take the whole headlight assembly's. any ideas?

 

What are you working on?

 

radiator support, swapping it out

 

What year truck are you working on?

 

If your working on a 92 to 96. I can help, since I just took apart a donor truck to get the header panel off of it.

Take out the 2 screws on top on each head light trim piece. Then down between the battery tray on the right side, and the washer fliud/overflow tank and vacume canister on the driverside, and the core support, you will have to reach way down in there to find 2 holes that have 3/16" screw heads in them, they hold the turn signal lights. You have to undo those screws. There's one towards the corner and one close to the vertical brace, this one doesn't come out, it just unscrews out of the back of the light but stays in the header panel.
I found it a whole lot easier to take out t he battery tray, fluid tank and the vacume canister to reach those 4 screws. After you have each trim off, you can get to the headlight screws. I hope I explained this clear enough for you, If not just PM me and I'll try to explain better.

 

OK I now see that you have a 1993.

Take out the two screws (2) and the two nuts (9).

But the nuts are not the easiest to get to.

1. Remove two screws and two nuts retaining headlamp door (13064).
