Front clip removal? 1950 suburban

[cybermca]

i am in the process of installing a 318 with auto and rebuilding the front suspension with the kantor kit.  i figured both of those tasks would be much simpler with all the front sheet metal out of the way.      i think i have all the bolts out but it still feels attached or stuck.      i have removed : upper fender bolts to firewall, lower bolts near door bottoms,  2 small bolts to flange behind tires, and the larger nuts under the radiator.    we can pick the front up and slide it forward enough to get the stud out of the slot below the radiator but there is still a lot of resistance.  i don't want to keep pulling for fear there is some attachment i have missed..     any experience would be greatly appreciated

you failed to mention the bolts inside the cowl that attach to the fender...with inner fender still in place may be hard to see the capture nuts...with the kickpanels removed you should be able to see and remove these from inside the car..should be two per fender if I remember correct

I believe there is a total 13 bolts to remove., fenders to firewall, radiator, I would remove the hood, unhook all the wiring, ignition, lights, speedo. I found it helpful to drop the bumper off as well. You are close

wiring and hood are already done.  i will take the kick panels out later and take a peak.  thanks a bunch
