I need the center headliner bow for my 1950 , I know of a truck that I can get one from,don’t know the year but it’s a five window and would like to know how they are held in so I won’t have to take my whole tool box to remove it
Thanks Joe

On my 51, the center bow was just held in between the front and rear pieces of the headliner. It's shaped so the headliner keys into it. The rear bow screws in so if you don't want to destroy the headliner by cutting it near the center bow, you could unscrew the rear bow and remove the rear part of the headliner. IIRC, the screws on the rear bow are phillips head.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

No worries. Hope it wasn't anything serious.

I just happened to find a photo of the end of the center bow.
