As I mentioned (or I may have not) I'd already removed the dashpad and didn't take any pictures. It was fairly straightforward. Now, removing the center instruments, ashtray, heater, and AM radio...
First, there was a blasted stripped screw on one of the plastic edge moldings (2 moldings on either side of the control panel, 2 screws each)
The radio was fairly easy. Next was the heater control. The two control cables were mounted in the rear with a solid piece of plastic that joined the two cables. The upper had broken off, so the cable was just being tugged back and forth behind there. I just cut the lower one off too, since I was having a devil of a time getting that little, stupid bolt off.
Labeled all wires removed from heater, radio, and there was a power wire that operated the light in top of the ash tray. I was surprised when I removed the tray and saw the light.
Two bolts held it in place, put them in the tray, unplugged the wire and set it aside. Called that a day. Only have an hour here or there to work on this thing. Wife and the wee kids need me around for comedic relief.
