    I am going to be removing the front flip to clean up the frame and maybe do some front end work. It doesn't look like there's much holding it on. I found the 2 radiator support bolts and what looks like a bolt inside the door hinge area. There must be more. What am I missing? Any tips would be great.

    There are three studs on the rear edge of each fender. Top, middle, bottom corner. Don't forget these.

    Where do access these from? Is it from inside the door hinge area?

    The middle one you can reach with a 3/8 ratchet and 1/2 socket through the door jamb, the top one you'll need a long extension to go through the upper kick panel area.

    It's pretty clean so I bet it's still there. So, including the radiator support, how many bolts am I looking for per side. I also noticed one that is at the back of the inner fender right where it meets the frame and cowl. If this is one, than I counting 6 per side - rad sup., cowl/inner fender/frame bolt, the 3 at the back of the fender (top, bottom, lower corner) all accessed from behind door hinges, and the one under the truck somewhere. Is this right six per side? Is it a ***** to get lined back up?

    If you are taking it apart its about 100 bolts.
    If you want to lift the front off as one piece, its the 3 at the back of each fender plus the ones at the radiator
