Default Dash Removal

I'm going to be changing out my radio bezel for one built for a newer stereo . Will I have to remove the dash to get this thing out, or is there a better way about doing this . I heard this is a real pain but I'm willing to go slow and do it right....any advice? .

Oooops....sorry about that, I have an '81' . It looks like your bezel in your '77' . Was yours a pain to remove, or does it just take patients? .

MIne was not bad at all...Its only a few screws and then one plug for all the gauges. The a/c vent took a little Just remember which screws go where. I think some are longer than the other. I also did my shifter console,carpet,cut my kicks for speakers.
Still waiting to finish my front carpet before i can finish my radio upgrade.

Thanks for the info on this item . I'm going to be replacing both bezels soon since the shifter bezel has a small crack in it, and it's a little warped at the radio bezel . I'm going to save all the original parts just incase some day I decide to sell it for an upgrade . Does the carpet flaps on the sides of the shifter bezel unscrew off, or are they velcro'ed?
