One main thing to think about are the airbags. Its recommended that you remove the battery connections and then let the truck sit a MINIMUM of 30 Min. This is to let the residual power source deplete, therefore allowing you to work on/around the airbags without the chance of them engaging. Be careful when you set them down after removal. I have heard stories of the drivers side engaging after being set down too hard (stories but cant be too careful). Good luck!

Got the dash pulled out of the wrecked truck today was actually a pretty good score. I thought the truck had grey interior panels cause it was so dirty but it actually was a black interior truck with silver trim so for what I paid I got a full dash,FX4 cluster and center console with the shifter.
