Headliner question!
Has anyone got a picture in galleries of a headliner whether it be stock or custom for the 53-56. Cheers All
The 53 is coming along fine, we are putting in the brake lines and emergency brake cable. Wow what tedious job that is.

Hey Aussie....first-I used the "Roddoors" headliner and covered it but I found you had to do a little trimming of the tabs that hold it in place. They are just small pieces of the asb material that are kinda heat welded together. The problem I found is that if you stress these tabs much they POP apart. I had to drill and pop-rivet them back together. All holds good then.
second- are you bending your own lines? stainless? I know you no longer have a stock setup to order prefit stuff.
later, Ed

That looks nice to me. I like the bows in the headliner. Looks like an older style that might have been in these trucks at one time.
Mine is (I assume) one of those cardboard things like the new cars are.

Ed, we are using stainless steel lines. As I live near the beach about 50Ft away, I went with the stainless lines. It will make it last a little longer I hope, unless I went with Marine grade stainless and that is big bucks. We are bending and proding as we go. It is all fully custom. Cheers All and thanks for the pics of the headliners, it will give me a guide on how to do it.
