S120 Nose Clip?

Does anyone know if you can you can easily remove the front nose clip on a S120 like you can on a K series truck?

Re: S120 Nose Clip?

I guess my ultimate question is what is the easiest way to pull and replace an engine in an S120 if my hoist does not go tall enough? Maybe just remove the radiaor and front grille?

Thanks for the help

You can remove the fenders, inner fenders and grille as a unit

Thanks Paul. Is that just as easy as just removing the radiator and grille? Also if i was able to just remove the grille would that give me enough room?

Re: S120 Nose Clip?

I've had the front end clip off of my S120. Probably (guess) 20 some bolts and screws of varying sizes. If they're not badly rusted it goes pretty quick and I like the room it afforded me to work on that area and do my engine swap. You'll either need a hoist of some sort or a second person to
help lift it off. My neighbor and I lifted mine off no problem. I would not hesitate to do it that way again.
