Dash board removal


Just need some help on taking the dash out.


This is where I am, I removed the windshield and have loosened the 5/6 nuts that go across the top, Also one on each side of the kick panel, I have disconnected everything behind the gauges, but not sure how to disconnect the cable going to the vents above where the radio sat?.


I removed the 3/4 bolts at the floor pan for the steering column and the 2/3 that where under it and disconnected the wiring, In the engine bay I removed the 2 bolts going down the shaft near the break booster.


Now the steering moves back half an inch and drops down half an inch or so give or take...


But the driver side dash is still not wanting to come lose from its corner, So my question is can the dash still come out?, Or do I need to pull out the column fully?.


This is where my issue is, I researched and found there is a coupler pin to pull out, / and I can't seem to locate it, I still have the engine in the car but i've looked with a torch and can't find it.


Any advise would be great thank you

I remember pulling the dash on my 68 and I never removed the column.

Did you lower the column or just lift the dash over the steering wheel

I removed the steering wheel and likely removed the 4 bolts at the firewall.

You don't have to remove the steering column, just drop it.
