Crew Cab pics in my readers rigs

[bgilbert]

Just put up some pics of my new 85 D350 crew cab in my RR's album. Truck is dirty, hasn't been washed since I got back from Sams house in Colorado. Just had some requests for pics of the custom headliner and rear door panels, so I snapped a few pics for you guys to enjoy . https://www.turbodieselregister.com/user_gallery/displayalbum.php?&userid=13880&albumid=17426

Wow... . Nice rig! Who did the headliner and door panel work?

 

[swankmetal]

uhhh, yeah! that is going to be one sweet rig when you're done with it bill. hope it goes smoothly for you.

... yeah... Bill pretty much now owns the nicest and cleanest crew cab in existence. That's about the only reason I ever picked it up in the first place - no rust, full upgraded interior, and completely complete. Dropping in a crate 360 to make it mobile was easy. I'm definitely glad I didn't need to cut it apart to make my stupid crew and this one stayed whole.

Bill I bet if you check that head liner is held in with door panel clips. That is a double wall roof. So door panel clips would be the best way to do it.



Someone did a nice job on the interior.

Interesting that the front seat back tilts forward. Was that original?



Has anyone figured out what year door panles on the front will match the rear panles?

I will go out a veryify but the rear door panels look like the ones in my 75 dodge truck. The front seats probably came out of a ramcharger. That may have been where the door panels came from too. I just got an idea what to do with my sagging original headliner. I would have never thought of useing hardware from door panels in the roof!!



Bill, are you in search of a 2 wheel drive donor then? Auto, manual? I will keep my eyes open.



Very sharp ride.

If your sagging is just the clothe covering the fiber board. Find some spray upholstery glue. Put a spray wand in the tip. Use a razor blade and cut a small place in your material. Then spray some glue in and press the material back up to its backing board.



Be sure to work small areas and move slowely. Your material has stretched. So you will have to work it back up slowely to make it fit right. I would work from front of truck to the back. If you need to remove excess material. The rear would be the least likely to show.



Sooner or later I need to do both of Case500D's truck. I hate riding in them and having the cloth rubbing on my hat. LOL

Door panels are definitely late 70's versions, front seat looks like a reupholstered version of a 1978 club cab seat I have.

OR you could just do like I have already done, and use a staple gun to keep the stuff from rubbing on your head. :-laf My headliner has several cuts in it already from a screwed up CB installation. Nobody sees it but me.



Thanks for the idea though. I will keep it in mind.
