Hey guys, been a while. Finishing a truck interior and found that I don't have the trim for the center where the headliner panels meet. bought one from someone else but looks to be for a 40's truck with a higher top. I may can alter this one to work but rather install the correct trim. My time is running out fast, this was the last stuff I had to do and now I'm stuck and my buddy returns from deployment in one week, Anybody got one or want to trade. Bob needs help.

I do (have one) from my 51. I heavily insulated the cab including the top and went with a one piece abs plastic headliner. That said, I've made it a point to keep all the original pieces and am not currently ready to part with anything.

My suggestion is give these folks a call, RPM Motorsports. They part out a lot of AD trucks. , you'll find them here. http://stores.ebay.com/RPM-Motorsports-I...d=p4634.c0.m322

No affiliation and never bought from them, I just always check their site when I need something.

Good Luck, Ron

First you list 47-50 as your span of years and there are some real differences here.
1947 and 1948 (some early 49's) use a screw on center bow, this bow attaches to another spot welded inside the cab.

The later bow shaped like an "S" floats and the cardboard essentially holds it in place. If you do not have the early style as shown you need the "S." The early also uses a different cardboard set that is cut/notched for the screw-in bow.
