Spot Weld Locations?

Have played with 67-72 trucks for some time but have never removed the dash of one for re-use. Wanting to remove the A/C dash from a '70 3/4 ton for a replacement piece to a hacked up radio front. Receiving truck is a factory A/C cab so.....just where and how many spot welds are located at the sides of the dash under the A pillars? Plan is to cut across the area under the dash pad location which would be covered when dash pad is remounted. Have located the attaching bolts with no problem and they are loose. Do not see the actual spot welds under the painted area. Lightly sand or scuff to locate and then drill using spot weld bits is the plan. Any thoughts or tips are much appreciated. Will get started on the project within next couple weeks as currently getting ready for first swap meet setup of the year.

Tried doing a search on "dash removal" but did not find reference to how many and just where the spot welds are located.
