Les says to remove the windsheild but I didnt have to, just openned it. Mine is a 29 Briggs Fordor 3 Window. There was no wood piece but there is a gap in there so someone may have left it out.The tank was obviously out at one time.I removed the dash panel but could have left it in.You do have to pull the column, the firewall filler below the tank as mentioned,500 nuts and bolts,and the side braces that bolt to the a pillar and cowl.There were 2 bolts and nuts at the top behind the dash panel that had no access to the nuts, I had to pry the tank downward while turning the bolts so the nuts would not spin.Of course there is the inst cluster, speedo cable and wire harness.Now I just have to clean it, a subject of another thread, Rich.Good luck.
