you can remove the bolts that hold the bottom splash, then the four bumper to frame bolts and take the bumper and lower pan as a unit. remove park light doors, top splash pan. at this point if u just want room to remove the center grill to get to the cam u need to remove the right and left top bars-one bolt fender side and two on the grill side. next the six bolts that hold the center section. hope this helps. dell


Thanks Dell & Joeyearl. Sounds like a good way to remove the whole grill and bumpers in two or three sections. Wondering: do you know if it's possible to remove the grill center ox-yoke section along with just the first row of stainless trim beneath it (the row including the parking lights/signals) and leaving the lower bumper in place?

That piece is in such poor condition that I had planned to wait to remove that until I was going to have it chromed. But everything above the bumper could come out to get at minimum, a polish and buff to help the appearance, maybe take away some of the pitting that's starting.

Cheers
