what is this?

I think it might be a headliner bow from a gmc? I found it in my pile of parts for my 51.

Re: what is this?

There are 2. The center bow has an "S" shape. The headliner is two panels. Front goes up by the visors and stops at one side of the S. Rear gets screwed on by rear bow and tucks into the other side of the S. I don't have any installed but I'm sure you can find pictures somewhere!

Re: what is this?

Sorry guys, but this is bugging me... all I see is this.



so, where does the S shaped one go?

edited.. AHHHH! I finally found a partial pic, showed the middle on a 51, I thought 47 - 52 were the same, looks like they changed in 51? to a 2 piece?
OK now I can sleep ....LOL

Re: what is this?

iS THAT YOUR TRUCK OR one from a show?
That one looks like a one piece headliner, is it covered or is it cardboard and painted?
The one piece ones do NOT need the center support.

Re: what is this?

not mine, just a pic... mine has nothing in it, I just had the 2 bows, but the only headliners I saw were 1 piece.. thus my confusion..
