So, I need some hand holding here.

I'm at work, I'm a little over an hour from home, and the Upull here has a 90 Suburban with the electronic dash I need for my LS swap. I've just been driving around with no dash because I don't want to pay 150 for one lol. But for 25 bucks, I'll take it.

Anyway, I have no tools with me, can I pull this with some screwdrivers and a dollar store 1/4 socket set? Or do I need more? It's been a long time since I pulled one, I just remember screws lol. I think they had tiny socket heads though and not Phillips.

I think you'll be able to get it with that. I used screw drivers and some nut drivers to get mine out. 1/4 nut driver a think and a Phillips screw driver. Mines a 82 C10 tho. Don't know if the 90 is different or not.

I'm going to swing by the dollar store and grab a "driver" for a buck I think and give it a whirl, I don't even know if the thing is there, I just know the vehicle is.

6 in one screwdriver works in a pinch. Needle nose pliers help if screws has been put in too far for a nut driver to grab

Got it, they were some weird size like 11/32, fortunately the dollar store had one of those crappy 1/4 prebroken socket sets.

They are often 7mm but the 1/4 from a crappy screw driver usually fits enough
