Talking 747F questions ... where are the stairs?

Are the noses 'flippable' on all 74 freighters? If so, wouldn't the stairs to the upper deck be in the way of front-loading?

And, on classic and 400 freighters, are the stairs in the normal place? I know this sounds stupid, but I often wondered whether or not the stairs leading to the upper deck are removed during conversion/mfg and if so ... how do you get to the pointy end?

And ... if there are no stairs and the cargo area/fuselage is clear are there ramps to allow vehicles to drive up like the big Rusky freighters? And if so ... is there enough clearance to drive a race team truck up into the bay?

Lotsa stupid questions .... so little time.
