Finally..Got the last interior components back - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally, after almost eight months at the upholstery shop, I picked up the leather covered headliner and visors. The upholstery guy does awesome work but is really backed up. I think he did a great job sewing the visors together. The stitching is very straight. Can't wait to get all of this installed.

Look's great what are those visior's out of???

The visors came from either Watson's Streetworks or Yearwood. It was quite a while ago and I can't remember. I got a new (repopped) headliner from The Truck Shop. He removed the vinyl and recovered it. I think I will try liquid nails adhesive to attach it to the ceiling in the truck. It is some pretty strong stuff. I think my Son's arms are going to get tired holding it in place until it dries....I'll have a few beers and supervise. I'll post pics of the whole interior once it's completed. The door panels were done in the same leather. The seats are out of a 69 Vette and are a saddle color leather. I love the smell of cowskin and fresh paint.

Looks nice!
I used liquid nails to glue up my headliner. It worked out well.
I knew I couldn't hold it up till it dried, so I used some shelving boards I had around and propped them up under the liner.Next day, took away the props. Still holding a year later

Yep Curbstone, the Liquid Nails worked great. I took your suggestion and propped up some 1" x 2"'s under some 1" x 4's and it worked awesome. I don't think it will ever come off....Thanks again....
