1969 top dash pad removal

[1969CoronetR/T]

I am parting out a 1968-1969 B body dash and the top dash pad is in great condition. How does this thing come off the dash frame? I do not see any screws and it looks like it is pressed on. Thanks for all the help.

Studs on back of pad. 3/8" nuts inside of top of dash.

Yeah, and don't forget to shrink yourself to mini-midget size to get better access to the fasteners. Holy crap, they didn't give a crap about what trouble this might be 40 years later!

I usually have the dash away from the windshield or out completely when I do em.

Thanks, I used a 10mm rachet with an extension to get the speed nuts off. They are jammed way up in the frame. Luckily, the dash is out of the car and I have small hands.

You are going to swear there is an alligator in there when you get through.
