so i was at the junk yard today and found an un broken dash for my truck i was lookin at it thinkin about takin it when another guy came up and said "oh you found that dash too huh i was thinkin about grbbin it for my buddy" i told him ya i was thinkin about it too but wasnt sure if i knew how to get it out and he started tellin me that they are real hard you have to take the wwindows out to get the dash off. now im not too sure he was tellin me the truth but he left i stared at it for awhiile and decided i didnt know enough to take it out nor did i have the time to remove a windshield if needed so i left too.

does the windshield have to come out? i really just dont know i wanna say no cause it seems to be a pretty popular thing to replace

 

No, the windshield doesn't have to come out. Take a peek at the FSM.
