That's it Denny, thanks. I just didn't see the screw holes. I must be going blind.

Now it is confirmed, I am loosing my mind. I have the rear bow in but it is the front where I can't see the screw holes. Is there, in fact, a bow in the front, does the bow I have go in the middle? I hope not. It'll be tough finding the screw holes through the vibration dampener.

The front does not have a bow, there is a bow in the middle but as I remember it does not have any screws, if it does it will just be one on each end. The middle bow is shaped like a "Z" or "S" and both pieces of the headliner tucks into it. The windshield garnish holds the front up but I don't remember if the screws went through the headliner or not. Install the front first and the back bow last.

Vibration damper????? Where you at buddy, inside the cab or under the hood???

The two sections of headliner just slip into the slots in the center bow it’s not screwed in
place.

The front headliner panel is tucked in behind the windshield garnish.

Ohhh, you mean the "sound deadener", well that's the problem with building a hot rod vs staying stock.

OK I see my problem. I had both bows wrapped up from the painter. I pulled the paper off the back bow and screwed it in leaving the screws loose so the upholster could deal with it. Had I started with the middle i would have seen it had no screw holes and assumed it went in the middle. All this because of 5+ years between tear-down and put-back and not enough pics, plus old age.
Thanks guys
