Removing dash?

Post by 1969FordMan »

Can someone tell this newbe how to remove the dash in a bump? My dash is split, faded and looks like crud. Also the AM radio still works, but the speaker has disentigrated. I have one I believe will fit and I want to replace the speaker so the factory radio will work again (im putting an aftermarket on in the headliner :thup: ) To me its a waste to remove and replace a working 40+ year old radio.

I have noticed that the dash "pad" is only availible in black, dash "covers" are avalible in all the original colors. So I suppose I need the dash pad and a cover to look original?
