Here's a few ideas for ya.

Hello Denee, When I put my headliner in I went with my seat colors. I first spray glued double sided foil insulation to help deaden noise. I started from the middle out using 3M Super 77. Its not real hard to do. The roughest part is deciding what kind of design to do. I know you'll show the forum what you decided on. With your truck color and interior color it will look great.

Hello OrrieG, Yes I did. Purchased from Classic Parts. It took about an hour with a little fighting but was worth it.

I don't remember whose truck this is and it really is simple, but I liked the chrome door edge guard enough to save it to my computer.

OKGMC4, I notice your interior body seams are filled. Did you weld them or did you use filler? How long ago and have you experienced any cracking?

[OKGMC4]

I welded them first so I wouldn't have to use as much filler, and to keep potential movement down. Kind of like taping a drywall joint before mudding to prevent a crack. It's been that way for about three years but I've only been driving it the last 7 months (3800 miles) with no problems yet. CAL58 did the same thing in his gmc a long time ago. His is the truck that inspired me to do mine that way.

Ok thanks. I knew a guy many years ago with a very nice '56 that used Bondo only and his seemed to hold just fine; no cracks. Also there was an article recently in Rod & Custom (I THINK?) that also used filler, but a particular brand that was supposed to be extra crack-resistant. I've never liked how crude the interior seams looked.

denee; i used the same ultra suede cloth as i used on my seats. contact cement to stick the cloth to 1/8 foam. and contact cement to glue it to the roof. i wasn't able to get the stock rubber trim in after that. i used chrome door edge on the edge of the roof. i made a paper template 1 inch larger than the opening for the foam and cloth. i had tape to mark the center of the cloth and the opening. my wife helped me glue it to the roof, definitely a 2 person job. no pics of that part

How'd you get the leather to stay?
Epoxy?

I didn't but the guy who does the interiors for me uses a glue made for doing interiors.. he's done a few for me this way and never had a problem and looks great.

This is what I had in my 59. Really wish I would have pulled it out before I sold it actually.
