Looks like the formica countertop is going to work perfect. Now it is off to the local fabric store to see what kind of material I can come up with.


I also got the back of cab sanded and the front of the box is done.



Hopefully it will be in primer within a week so I can get it block sanded. I just have to see when the body shop has an opening for his spray booth.

Love it all Looks like a ton of fun... I used a 5' x 4" section of MDF (speaker box board) to block my bedsides. Works excellent with dry guidecoat and a second person keeping even pressure on the board. I'm certain this is going to be VERY noice.

Thanks, I am going to be looking for black vinyl material. I'll use a piece of 1/4-3/8" foam padding to make it look like a Lariat headliner.

Test fit of the headliner. It looks like I need to take about a 1/4" off each side and 1"off the back. From this dry run it looks like it will work perfect. I still have to grind off the center support section where the original plastic clip mounted to.

I'm sorry, it was not my intent, it isn't mine and I have know idea who it belongs too.
I just thought it would be of interest to those that are crew cab enthusiasts

The "crew cab only" thread might have been a better place to post.


Now to get this back on topic - any pics of the headliner "mocked up" and in place?
