Interior Help
I have restored a 1981 Ford F100. The truck was a Custom so there was no headliner or carpet behind the seat. I have found a full interior out of a 1986 and want to put it in mine. I noticed on the back of some of the interior pieces there is some type of clamp. Especially the plastic and metal around the headliner. Am I missing the holes these clamps go into or am I just positioning it wrong in the truck. My next idea is to just tactfully screw the interior trim up. If it is possible to use the factory brackets, I would rather do this. Any help is appreciated.

You should already have the slots along the windshield even if you didn't have a headliner to begin with.
I can't remember if they are used along the back window though. It's been quite a while since I did the same thing to mine.
I'd have to take a look tomorrow when it gets light, but IIRC there are 3 screws that hold the rear piece in place and IIRC you do in fact need them along the tops of the doors.

Hey thanks everyone. So I guess I am going to have to drill holes in the interior pieces and screw them into the cab. What are these white plastic pieces Ken Blythen is referring to...will I need those? Looked at a 91 f350 today and it has screws from the factory. Must have done away with the clips. Thanks again.
