Fj40 metal dash removal (1 Viewer)

i need to replace my metal dash and am looking for some advice. Other than the two main welds on the right and left hand side what other welds need to be cut? Do all of the spot welds under the dash pad need to be cut too? Thanks

the glove box needs to be cut free, also there are spot welds all along the top edge by the windshield frame.

As said, across beneath dash pad and glove box. When you do it, save yourself a headache and buy a GOOD spot-weld cutter.

X1000 on a good spot weld cutter I use a Blair rotobroach but I drill a pilot hole same size as the pilot on the spot weld cutter first
Eliminates the cutter walking and smashing your knuckles on the dash on mine there was a weld down both sides of dash onto door jambs I cut just inside the weld with a zip cut

Thanks for the information. The dash that I am working on is from a 1976 fj40. The new dash that I have to install has two holes that are not in my current dash. They are on the right hand side next to the glove box door. One larger hole and one smaller hole, they look stock any idea what these are or what year this dash might be from?

Actually I answered my own question... the large hole is for the it is a soft top dome light and the small hole is for the switch.
