If you talking about the plastic cover over the pillar it just pulls off. held on by clips.

If you acctually want to remove the a-pillar i would suggest a sawzall.

That simple? I don't have to take off the dash or anything to get that bottom part undone do I?

I don't think so. I pulled mine most of the way off to install the antenna for my remote start under it with no problems. I don't remember if I pulled it completely out or not, but I think it will come out without removing anything else. Just start pulling at the top and work your way down.

I see you live relatively near OKC. About 15 of us are having a get together to look at each others trucks, eat some food and goof off this Saturday if you are interested. If you didn't already see the post about it that is.

Yup, just ****** that sumbitch off. Just put your hands around the pillar and squeeze it a bit and you'll feel the clips coming loose.
