I see that Classic Parts sells different headliner kits for 47-49 and 50-53 panel trucks. My truck was assembled from multiple vehicles of different years so I'm not sure which I should get. Anyone know what the difference is between the two headliners?

In late 1949, the headliner center bow changed to a "floating type", it was no longer screwed to roof of cab.

My local upholstery shop made me a front to back cloth headliner for my 54 panel for 450.00.
I insulated it myself before I took it in.
Its not like driving an empty coffee can anymore.

How can I tell from looking at mine which type I should get?

Are there there holes in the middle roof cross-member (above the driver)?
