For fenders, remove the middle bolts last. Make sure it is loose before you make it the last one so you don't have to fight it when it comes time. One person job. For the hood, I lay a blanket on the cowl so nothing gets scratched, use a stick from the front of the hood to the grill area ( it helps if it points back towards the firewall) then start removing hood attaching parts. Go slow and make sure the hood doesn't slip off the cowl. When everything is detached at the back and the back of the hood is resting on the cowl, I raise the front of the hood and set aside the prop. Lower the hood in to its closed position, put the nose in my belly, lean over, grab the sides and cantilever it off of the truck. After that, I can't help you because I have a Suburban and I used the overhead crane at work to remove the body off the frame.
