This document is one page of a multi-page service procedure, apparently from an electronic service manual (evidenced by 'Zoom' and 'Sized for Print' buttons), covering removal steps for the instrument panel (IP) area of a truck. Visible steps run from step 19 through step 22. Step 19 (partially cut off) instructs removing the steering column from the vehicle. Step 20 covers removing the shift levers, with sub-steps: (a) remove the transfer case knob by pulling it straight up, noting that S4WD models must be in the 4-LO range, and (b) remove the manual transmission shift lever if equipped. Step 21 instructs removing the front floor console if necessary, accompanied by a line-art illustration of the instrument panel with an inset circular detail showing the lower bracket/pivot bolt area. Step 22 instructs removing the left and right lower IP pivot bolts. No torque values, part numbers, or year/model applicability statements are visible on this page. The page was uploaded to a 1998 Chevrolet C/K Pickup gallery, and nothing on the page contradicts that attribution. A reader can learn the sequence for detaching shift controls and the console before unbolting the lower instrument panel pivots.
