the old trucker:

  I thank you for the update on this matter Mr. Paulson. I am never too old to learn something new & I have learned alot since coming here.

dpaulson:
Since I used bucket seats from a 4 door truck which do not fold ahead to ease entry to the back, I mad a little hideaway step to help passengers.  It will be built into the seat when I get to that part.

Some pic of the headliner installation. 



I used the holes that were for the previous headliner.  They were not factory holes as it looked like the guy used a hammer and a punch.  I used stainless screws to screw the 3/4 x 1-1/2 oak strips on.  I used 1/4 G1S fir plywood that I covered with headliner material and screwed up to the oak strips.  I'm happy with the way it turned out.

the old trucker:

 Looks great so far, what kind of material did you use for headliner ??                OT.
     
                                                                                     

dpaulson:
It's a vinyl of some type.  I purchased it off the internet from a company in  the US.  It was under automotive headliner section.

the old trucker:

    In the second last pic showing your upholstery, I noticed your dash looked like it is done. Any pics of it ? Mike (57 rebuild) will soon be at his & wanted to see a few different styles.
