Front fenders and fender braces are bolted to the cab. The radiator support bolts to the front cross member. The fenders , inner fenders and grille all come off in one piece. I like to rake the radiator out and take the fan off and then just kind of roll the whole thing forward. The back of the cab is mounted with shackles and the bolts in front will now be exposed.

Get the book. The best way to start is to take pictures. If you can't figure out how to get it apart, you'll never get it back together without the book and pictures.

I never thought of it in that respect, but taking things apart have never really been a problem, but I have had some challenges in putting them back together.

Are you supposed to put them back together? Maybe that's what I've been doing wrong all these years!
