I'm trying to take the heater box thing out so I can replace the heater core. I see the one bolt on the far right on the box from inside the cab. How do I get to the other ones? Engine bay? Were at? HELP!!

I just got done. Had to stop for awhile to get the kids from school. I went ahead and dropped the inner fender. The only big problem I had was taking the heater box apart. Had all the little bolts out, and the back still wouldn't come off. Finally figured out I had to take the flapper rod out to get them apart.

Went ahead and put a new blower in too. The other one had just started to squeal. Have to wait till tomorrow to try it out cause I ran out of daylight.

Still some interior bits to finish up.

Thanks for the offer Jon. Definitely next time!
