How to remove \'67 dash to replace headlight switch?

My headlight switch is worn out and I need to get behind the dash to replace it. I've never taken off the dash in my '67 and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me before I get started on it? (Yeah, I'm new at this)I could just take it to the shop but then I wouldn't learn anything and it would be pointless.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Anyone have pictures of this process?

I don't beleive you have to remove the dash to change the switch, reach up behind the dash and get your hands on the switch itself. There should be a spring loaded button on the exterior of the switch, once you locate it push the button down and pull the switch handle out, it should come right out of the switch assy. Remove the lock nut and the drop the switch down where you can see it and unplug the harness. Reverse the procedure for the install. Don't remember if I ever changed a 67 but the earlier Fords had this set up.

I didn't answer just because I didn't have a clue how a 67 light switch is. I was hoping someone might though. I guess they can't be that different though.

Pretty sure they used the same switch for many years and it's removed as stated in second post - very easy.
