Big "Face Palm" moment here as the kids say. It's been about 3 years since I pulled my rotten headliner out. All this time I kept the trim separate (or so I thought) and painted everything over the winter. Now, I also have a 1952 Canadian Pontiac (so a Chev body) Sedan Delivery that's been well underway this same time frame... bit of "foreshadowing" for ya there.
Upholstery shop did a nice job on my 49 AD headliner this week and so I figured I'd install it.
1) Center bow is missing, apparently. What I thought was my center bow was actually my rear bow... Center one was certainly there when I took it apart... If anyone has a photo of one of these center bows (I don't think the year really matters for this, I just need a visual so I'm looking for the right thing car vs. truck) that would be appreciated. I'm guessing that I've mixed some stuff up and it may be sitting in a pile of OT project parts.
2) I have a piece of windshield trim that I can't see on most of the diagrams for the early AD trucks (this being a two piece headliner) and I'm starting to wonder if it's actually from the 52 SD. If anyone can confirm this actually belongs in my 49 AD, that would be GREAT as if not then I can stop trying to figure out how it bolts in:
I should add: I DID take lots of photos at the time. But go back through em and you think any actually show exactly what I need??? Go figure
Thanks! NC3800
