Front Clip???

[wolfpack]

Hey guys how do you pull the entire front clip off without taking it off piece by piece? Thanks Terry

theoretically. You could:

Pull the bumper
Unplug all the wiring
Remove the battery (for safety)
Remove the two core support to frame mount bolts
Remove the 2 bolts holding the inner fenders to the firewall (at rubber straps in fender well)
Remove 3 bolts per side holding inner fender upper mount to firewall
Remove 2 bolts in bottom of fender to rocker
Remove 2 bolts from inside of pillar at upper hinge to fender.

Of course you have to remove the radiator and trans cooler hoses.

Lift up and out (forward)

I'm not sure it wouldn't be more trouble than taking it apart.

Its easyer to remove the grill, fenders, bumper, bumper filler, and hood, and then remove the inner fenders and core support as one peice. The whole clip would take four people to lift.

I have removed them with just myself and and one other person but with the hood, battery and radiator removed seperately. It isn't too bad that way. Depending on how much you have to fight those two core support bolts, 2 guys can have a front clip off in about 10 minutes.

thanks guys, I think I'm going to have to pull it apart one at a time because everything seems a little rusty.

sounds like the makings of a new jeff foxworthy joke.

You might be a redneck if you have 30 guys over to help you pull your Ford truck appart, And you and your brother and both of your wives are the only 3 people working on that. The rest of them are just sitting back swirling beer and yelling advice at ya, "no no hold it with your other hand your doing that all wrong".


or how many rednecks does it take to remove the front clip off of a 67 ford pickup?

33 you your brother and both your wife(the same wife)removing the clip and 30 friends and relatives to watch swirl beer and yell advice "you missed a bolt cestus hell you'll never get that front end of like that you oughta get more help!" at wich point you yell out "Hell I Already got the whole county over,sides we almost outa beer!"
